Panzer Collar Litzen, Real??

[roseh52]

Hi Everyone, I've had these in my collection for a while and I'm wondering if they are real. They look real compared to others I have seen. The pink is cloth thread, and the silver is metal. The cloth is the dark bluish green, and there are holes around the edges with some remnants of strings sticking out from where they were sewn onto something.

I think they are real, but I would like to know what you guys think. Please help me.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response! I thought they were real, but wanted to have a second opinion. Any guess as to what they would be worth?

Check the on-line dealers for current value. In lieu of actually walking a collector's show scouting prices, that's what I do.

Thanks for your response. I've looked at about as many websites I can find, and not many have panzer tabs as a pair like mine(they are singles) or they are paired up with some boards. I know people arent too keen about the value question being asked, and I apologize to anyone whom might be annoyed with that question. I just like to know where my collection sits in value, possibly for the purpose of insurance one day. As many of the big time collectors should look into if they havent already.

Here's a pair of Panzer litzen currently offered:

Many consider his prices a tad on the high side, but the stuff is universally accepted as good. Factor that in as well as the condition of your set.

This would be a starting point.
