Saw this on eBay.

Somebody copy this before it disappears please. This is a perfect example of what to avoid with these tallies.

A definite repro!

Not made to any WW2 period construction.

Ebay is getting more lax on what members can post and claim to be original. Many claims in the small print allow the seller to deny and state that they aren't expert to guarantee originality: thus, it is on the buyer not the seller. There is still the possibility to score a nice original piece, however, it the deck is stacked against you and your purchases have taken on just that much more risk.


The piece shown is obviously a fake. Full thread gold reverse, the S in Panzerschiff not being the accepted letter compared to originals.
The cotton thread with single stitching on the reverse are the real dangerous ones.
I will look and see if I have a photo example to compare and show you what I am talking about.
