Michael Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I don't think these are original do you? Mikehttp://cgi.ebay.com/LUFTWAFFE-OFFICER-COLL...1QQcmdZViewItem
Paul R Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Here are the images...I am not getting a good feeling about them at all. The overall quality seems lacking, IMHO. Also, the embroidery style matches up with some examples known to me to be reproduction... I look forward to hearing the thoughts of others.
Paul R Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 The gold material looks brand new with no patina while the facing material and the buckram are dirty as hell... does not make too much sense to me.RegardsPaul
Michael Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 My thoughts exactly Paul. When I first saw them I thought they looked suspicious right away.Mike
Gary B Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, I tend to agree that these are repro. The gull embroidery is not what I like to see and the shape of that tabs are more rectangular than rhomboidal. Additionally, for as dirty as the white badge cloth is the gilt bullion is pretty sparkly.Gary B
