would love to show off some stuff I got in a parking lot buy yesterday but then I remember why I just lurk around here it's because I can never get my pictures to load and I have tried crops and still to big. there has to be an easier way.

Hi Wes I don't think the Ss collar tabs or the "Ss emblem" patch are authentic. Collar tabs are repro, "emblem" is a fantasy piece.

The other pieces look like captains bars but I have no knowledge of those. Ss tabs still appear to be repro IMHO tho.

I felt I should contribute what I knew there Wes... Not an expert by any means on the rest- but I know the Ss bits were bad, I've been studying those closely for a few years now... Could not tell u the rest but I know some of the folks on here can. I hope u get some good results tho it can be nervewracking waiting but I'd have to think maybe the Eagles have potential- we have a nice gallery here for comparisons... I really have fingers crossed on cap and uni other than Ss cloth that's where the money is or isn't. Best of luck Wes

I had doubts about the SS tabs and the other fantasy SS Youth patch , but the others I had hope that they had a chance, and yes I got the pants with the jacket both are in very nice shape. I have been searching for the little gold tabs and lanyard shown and still no luck at all.. lol , been spending lots of time searching some of the stuff I don't about , it's tuff so thanks for your help you guys are the best.
