The longer I collect the more I am convinced that most SS tunics are put-together. Some have original insignia and some not, but still they are sold as untouched originals.
It's from my own experience that I noticed that the biggest enemy is within me. I wanted desperately to believe my item - tunic - was real and all other opinions I ruled out as jealousy. Without acknowledging ones mistakes or lack of experience, this hobby can never be learned. It's not the mistake one should be ashamed of, but the way one deals with a mistake. We have all been there and we all learn every day.
Grant, many thanks for your great input.
