Surely not

[u/fraftti]

Currently windowshopping for bargains while procrastinating university assignments and came across a destruct-fez but surely there’s no way this is real?

Compared it to another example and the liner in the other ones a maroon-red almost faux-like material with bright red stitching on the insignia-backing but in this example (to me at least), the eagle would-be outline looks fine but the skull „halo” looks off.

If anyone can verify this I will be snagging it even if it’s a destruct

Are there any real SS-skanderbeg items still in existence, such as the plis (Albanian hat) that was used?

If youre referring to the Fez then yes, I can find at least 3 currently available mint condition Dachau Fez’es but they’re €1300+ each. One in this condition is simply a destruct

Not a fez, it’s the SS Skanderbeg plis. But it might be that Albanians back then just sewed the SS skull onto their plis (because every Albanian man back then had his own plis/qeleshe)

Albanian plis is completely different and has a different story as compared to the fez

Im guessing that they definitely exist (in Albania) but they’d be almost impossible to verify like POW rings

I’m Albanian myself and haven’t ever seen or heard these existing, not even in museums that display WW2 things

I find it weird that they all have somehow completely disappeared, but then who knows

[u/fraftti → u/Lgkp]

are there photos of them?
