I was surfing the internet and found these exact same SS shoulder straps for sale on a well known dealers web site. I would like your opinions on these please . Steve

Lining. My attitude toward this hat is that it is a reproduction. But I could be wrong. I will pitures of the vent holes ASAP. Steve

Hi gang, I would like your opinions on this M38 overseas hat. All comments welcome. I'll see about getting better pictures. Steve

Hi ya Paul, I had posted this same jacket some time back in the past on the WAF and it finally received great reviews from some of the most experienced collectors. The controversey stemmed around the eagle but Bob Hirtz put an end to that by stating that the eagle was 100% good and then backed it up with tons of proof! This is a really cool coat! I have been researching SS uniforms and stuff and I intend on buying some SS things in the the future. I'm still in the process of buying better camera equipment to take better pictures. My photos suck pretty bad at the moment. Take it easy. Cheers, Steve
