Many Hats, clothing and a Helmet cover.
These items are for sale and I know little to nothing about headgear and clothing when it comes to telling fake from original. Sorry for posting so many images, if anyone actually looks through them I thank you in advance.

Re: Many Hats, clothing and a Helmet cover.
Will try to give my opinion on this stuff.... Most appears questionable at best, limited photos don't help much, and condition and removed insignia are reasons why most of these are low end or junk.
Tropical field cap.... Bad condition and reproduction national cockade. Would need to see the inside to say much more. Not liking what I can see.
M43 single button field cap. Traces of glued insignia, only one gromet and vent, need to see inside...
Iffy at best.
Kriegsmarine "Donald Duck" hat. Need to be checked but stands a chance.
Unknown overseas cap. Bad condition, need to see interior... Might be ok.
SS helmet cover. Heavily faked, pictures will only tell so much. Rare if real but be very skeptical, especially in this lot.
Long underwear top. Real but common.
Army Camo. Pullover... Postwar manufacturer IMO. Cut is wrong I believe.
Best I can do without hands on inspection. Hope it helps. Don't buy poor condition or altered stuff.

Re: Many Hats, clothing and a Helmet cover.
Hello thanks a lot for your response, I will keep clear of these items. They are cheap and weren’t getting much interest from bidders so that was my first warning.
Thanks,

Kriegsmarine mützenband looks as printed and not an original embroidery
