TK Officer? Skull Tab

[magprint]

Just got a collection of items from a son of a vet here in the U.S.

I have to admit I am out of my element on these tabs . . .

Wire (I assume officer?) skull tab with a matching (?) rank tab of an Unterscharführer. Both piped in Black/Silver.

Can anyone help - good?, a set?, opinions.

Thanks for the help,

Rich Moran

Thanks for the prompt reply. I got a value from the Hamburg "guys" already. Can you give me a fair assessment of what they are worth?

I also have 2 first style Sleeve Eagles I will post as soon as my guys are done with the scanner.

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

In my mind, which may or may not be what they could fetch,
as a matched pair I would say from 2000-2500 depending on the level of interest from a collector. Maybe more to the right guy.

Thanks again

Thanks again for the help Dave.

I will move them over to the e-stand now that I know they are OK.

Rich,

I do not call myself an expert and there are some really good fakes around,
I would wait for a couple of other opinions before I offered them for sale,
Just me,

Na, bitte!

This is not really my thing, but my coup d' oeil responds as authentic. There are some very hard core collectors of this regalia who really know this material and have devoted great energy, expense and time to it. However, I have seen a fair number of SS collar patches on black uniforms over the decades, and I suggest this: the Unterlage Abzeichentuch looks correct, as does the alu/black Paspel on the patches. I even think the embroidery is correct (??!!), but none of this is 100% certain in my mind and without an inspection, such a statement remains really conjecture. These are very expensive in any case. Viel Sammerlglueck. PS The Whammond site has one of these by means of comparison. I am sure my colleagues more at home with this regalia can generalize here.
