If your painting a portrait of Himmler , you better get the swastika right ! Junk .
-
I find it hard to believe this is any kind of official painting, the face is fairly good but the rest of it is garbage, for instance the odd swastika and it being angled to the front, also the tiny totenkopf on the cap.
-
I must say that the face is very good but as already said above... I'm with the rest. Bad swastika and the whole visor is wrong.

Wood frame and canvas look pretty new for a more than 70 years old piece.

The SS stamp on the wood isn't anything I have seen on any Third Reich or SS art...
Canvas looks very new to be 70 years old.. I would think there would be some yellowing...

Agreed! With Third Reich items fetching big bucks these days no small wonder all the forgeries out there. Ashame but always unscrupulous people trying to make a killing out there.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I agree the insignia in general on it are quite off, my only saving grace was that it could have been a one off piece done by an independent rather than an official piece for the government. I see I was quite wrong, thanks for clearing it up, I'll be more careful in the future.

I found a thread of a Portrait I bought also ..possibly by the same artist using tea bags to age the reverse and a nice touch with a SS stamp and signature
A $55 US gamble
