The don't think that the tunic is an SS tunic. It would be a Heer panzer tunic. Can't comment on authenticity though. The cap insignia puts me off abit. But i'll leave those to the experts.

Hat is a Franky. (Lining is legit from a Zettel visor).
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
May i ask what a franky is ? The liner looked legit. But i had seen a thread on this sort of thing not long ago. I saw a visor with good liner ,, but the visor was bad. My buddy wanted the cap... I begged him not to buy it... He now says the cap is real and he had to pay to have it authenticated...sounds abit fishy to me.... Im sure there's a million guys who will say the cap is good if one paid someone to ' authenticate' an item....by stonemint
My buddy said he paid 500 bucks to have it looked at... He said the skull and eagle are correct.... I begged him not to buy it.... He now said he wants to sell it for $4500....
So i have been on the lookout for this cap being offered for sale...
Iam interested to hear more opinions about this piece lol
An original SS visor with colored Waffenfarbe would probably be 3x's the price he is selling this for. Probably more as I don't swim in this pool.
Second, I'm sure Stony, in using the term "Frankie", is referring to a "Frankenstein". Put together with I suspect a few original pieces. i.e fake.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Here is the original sales pitch when it was being dumped on Gunbroker:
Just picked up at another antique shop in Weisbaden. These are getting so rd to find, once collectors have them they are unwilling to sell them. This is the first one I have even ran across in the past eight years. Very nice condition, except for one small minor spot on the top. As for price there is really nothing else to compare the price to because they are not out there. I was able to find just one other out there for a sale on a " big " dealer website, no where in the pristine condition as this one here.....his price, almost 11k !!! I am open to any fair offer. If you need more photos, let me know, I have many more.

Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 real SS Panzer visors in collections today.
If a real one were to ever surface on the open market (which almost never happens), expect to pay $25,000 at a minimum.
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Stonemint, wow haha. Seriously? I cannot believe people try to let this bs slide.... I kept asking my buddy where he got it from and he dosent seem too happy now..
