At worst, a complete fantasy piece. At best, an unofficial patriotic item.

[Chris Pittman]

Paul is correct, this is a fantasy item.

I just saw a link with information about it http://www.thirdreich.ca/insignia.php i wonder if it is a fantasy item or those one where really used

The skull on this piece is more akin to the tradition cap badge

worn by the Regimental Staff of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 11th

squadrons of the 5th Cavalry Regiment and by all units of the

4th Cavalry Division except the 41st Cavalry Regiment (1944-45).

So in my opinion its a fantasy, "any skull will do to represent the SS"

Piece.

Your link leads to a website that is obviously selling fake / repro items

and could be classed as a spam link under:

"6.5 The spamming of posts by advertising Commercial Sites or products is not permitted. "

Opinion of Moderator required please.

thanks kev; and also thanks to other users, I dont want to make a collection with fantasy or repro items polluting it

P.S: I didn`t thought that that link would be considered like spamm; is there a chance to quit that quote? or at least the link on it...

[Paul R]

I think that the link was left for the purpose of reference versus promoting the site. If this is the case, I dont see a problem here.

I think we should make a list of sites where NOT to buy

This should be at the top of every "do-not-buy-from" list: http://www.snyderstreasures.com/

Very true about that website. A shame so many crooks are out there. They flatly state that all items are guaranteed...guaranteed pieces of crap....
