    Norw-SS ID Disk

    Hello collectors.
    "NORW-SS.SKi.BAt.14"
    I purchased this Dog Tag recently, I am no expert on this feeld, but have good and bad feelings about it. ,
    I know this one among some others came from a collection in us, and there is a "Certificate of Authenticity" with it. (But that i dont trust so damn much, cause i dont have experiance with that firm!) There has also been some reactions on the 14. nr?? how to explain this nr.? Looking forward to read opinions.
    Kind Regards

        A fantasy piece IMO. The unit the faker was thinking of was the Norwegisches SS-Ski-Jäger Batallion which ultimately became SS-Ski Btl. 506 in Feb.45.

          Hi Norge,

          I'm afraid I have to agree with Simon- in fact, another poster here on the Forum showed me this very disc a little while back, and I advised him to stay away from it. There are a number of problems with it- the main one is that according to the references (such as Tessin), there was no such unit. As Simon mentioned, the actual unit was Norwegisches SS-Ski-Jäger Batallion- there was no Norwegisches SS-Ski Bataillon 14.

          I don't know exactly how N&T can offer a Certificate of Authenticity for this disc, except if it is based on their belief in the knowledge of the collector from whom they claim the disc came. This shows that their COAs don't offer the security that one would hope.

          I would hope that they've also offered a lifetime return guarantee if anything turns-out to be a reproduction- I'd ask for my money back if I were you.

            Hi,

            Sorry to hear that you have bought this one . N&T had several of these id tags on offer some years ago (nicluding yours) with the

            "NORW-SS.SKi.BAt.14" and also "NORW-SS.SKi.BAt.33". They was avalible with various soldier #.

            Did you bought yours from a norwegian source?

              Even if the unit was legit, I would still have some doubts about the construction of this disc

                Thanks for replys all!
                The way of spelling and wrong name on the unit (BAt.14?) on this tag, makes me agree with You guys, to many problems with it! I dont think there were room for such mistake by the original maker eihter. I will return it to the dealer in norway (who got it from N&T). Don`t know about the constuction, but it is strange that the certificate was made anyway. Dealers can do mistakes, and im glad the "Fakerbastards" still can also.... If anybody do have a original piece i would like to be e-mailed a pic.!
                (maby Gaspar have any last comments?)
                Again, Thanks a lot.

                  norge , these guys have nailed it,,get your money back! COAs mean nothing. Saw 50 SS tags at the SOS show all but one in my opinion were bad!,and the dealers selling them would have provided a COA on them if asked for one ...,G.

                    is that the problem now, all because a dealer has so many and is selling them they automatically start to be accepted as real. years down the line.
