Michael Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't think these are original do you? Mikehttp://cgi.ebay.com/LUFTWAFFE-OFFICER-COLL...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 30, 2008 Share 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 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The aging seems contrived to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 30, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 My thoughts exactly Paul. When I first saw them I thought they looked suspicious right away.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary B Posted February 1, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
