hi guys i found this SS tunic for sale on a dealers site and wonder if this is too good to be true being an original piece...its description is below
1939-45 Waffen-SS "Reed green" Herringbone twill summer/fatigue tunic. Unusual variant. 5 pebbled steel button front, hook & eye closure to fall collar. Un-pleated patch pockets to chest & skirt with straight flaps. Stamp inside below plain white label "P.P Berlin 68" (or similar) on inside pocket. Machine, zig-zag stitch applied bevo silk SS- sleeve eagle & cotton Bevo "Langmarck" cuff title to left sleeve. Collar tabs of Bevo "silver" SS. Runes (R/H side) & plain black (L/H side). Shoulder straps (of detachable type) of black, white piped with field grey backing. Award loops to chest & on L/H pocket. Repairs to rears on skirt. Insignia appears original, but an unusual Waffen-SS variant tunic possibly manufactured from captured enemy stocks. VGC

no expert but it just looks like a fake to me and saying "possibly manufactured from captured enemy stocks" he can claim he doen't know if its fake or not
