He's at it again.............more finely crafted original SA collar tabs - get 'em while they're hot!! Manufactured by the only official RZM store in Colorado, where many SA and SS men emigrated to, in hopes of reestablishing their beloved Reich.

He hasnt stopped and probably won't. He is making too much coin doing this. I did message him one day and gave him some info about his tab that the colors were wrong and according to official SA list, that the particular Standarte never existed for the Gruppe he was trying to say it was. He thanked me for the info and asked if I would send him a copy of the list to help "fill some gaps" for him. Whatever the hell that means. I never replied.

Thanks for this update, friends, and it is certainly concerning for all collectors! There is a WAF section titled "Wehrmacht-Awards.com Collector's Association Member's Area" that includes five Forums on "Fakes," specifically covering Crosses, Badges, Packets & Cases, Fallschirmjäger, and Documents, but nothing on fake collar tabs, shoulder boards or the like. Or even about fake daggers...! The problem with this WAF section -- in addition to it's current limitations of content -- is that it's designated for "Members Only," which means that anyone who is not an Association Member can't view it. While I understand that WAF wants to encourage as many new paying Members as possible, as well as to discourage the fakers from having a good source of information that would improve their "products," I'm not sure that's the best way to cover this topic of fakes and forgeries...

I would encourage anyone here to open one or more new Forums under the "Wehrmacht-Awards.com Collector's Association Member's Area" that alerts and educates collectors as to how to detect fakes and forgeries...and YES, I do realize that that will be a source of training for the fakers to improve their wares, but since the five above-mentioned Forums already exist, it's too late now to fall back and protect ignorance within our hobby!

Tabs

Most likely, he's scouring the SA books for examples to copy - he's quite creative...........not just your average SA tabs.....but more obscure pieces to fill in collections.
Someone should send him the recent WAF thread showing the SA men killed by the commie rats in 1929 Wohrden..........just photoshop a different text, explaining they were killed on Hitler's orders for making fake SA collar tabs.

Br James is right.

Tabs like this will fool people.

Has this seller SS tabs as well?
