Hi,
Well, the seller could be convinced it's real. Remember, there's not a shred of evidence which points towards either ss-acceptance or ss-marking. They were supplied through the usual channels, as were other German police or military units.
The most striking example was shown at one of the forums a couple of years ago. A luger that was recovered from the place where it was buried, wrapped in an SS-zeltbahn. It was a straightforward Mauser banner without any particular SS-markings.
