Fake SS tunic at Finnish militaria fair

**Blitzvogel** · 01-20-2018, 02:34 PM

Today I went to an annual Finnish militaria fair at Oulu.

There was a fake SS uniform for sale. Tunic, helmet and boots all for 1000 euros.

Not quite right...

But, there was some real stuff too. A few Finnish tunics, but also a couple WW2 Luftwaffe ones too...

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

The black tunic is a plaything. You have enough images from ourside to know a real item of black woolens a la schwarzer Dienstrock, etc.
Not too appetizing. The signal Lw one looks ok, but I am sure the Fliegerblue is also faked.
In the 1960s, these were had in bundles without the rank badges for USD 25.

Well, it is difficult to pick a favorite from your lovely pile...but this one of yours has been pinned on my wall for years!

Friedrich... I think you have room for a few more hats in your collection!

Do let me write that I am happy you save the picture, in this case made by Shea's crack photographer, and better than my own spasdic pictures.
The cap is a very nice one, and I well recall a long time ago a dealer trying to spoof me to the effect the thing was a fake.
In fact, I endured a lot of psyops with the low jinx whereby the more aggressive dealer type tries to intimidate the collector
with bullsh!t. It did not work. In fact, the spoofing and misinformation of gun show old wives and so forth made me more determined
to spread in a republic of the digits as many facts about these items as I could possibly manage. That is, to take the real sources
and put them before you so you can enable yourself to be less vulnerable to the spoofs and whatnot.
I respond very poorly to such attempts at manipulation with counter escalation via aysmetric capabilities.

I do not pretend that this one (or one similar) would ever grace my cabinet but I do enjoy looking at it. Some items "speak". And this one speaks to me.
