It is true. I have come across old East German Uniforms with fake insignia put on them and someone saying it is a Waffen SS tunic.
Oh, at least that stuff shows up like a whore in church - what some fakers can do these days is add small drops of nitric acid to buttons so that they rust up and a little bit of rust stain bleeds into the fabric.
My friends fake mutze checked out in everyway - right peak, fabric, waffenfarbe, you name it! He only found out it was fake when another collector noticed the cover for the diamond patch inside was clear plastic instead of the crinkly yellowy cellulose stuff they actually used on originals.
Only a matter of time before they can fake that as well.....
