A spool of SS thread? Opinions please.

I bought a roll at the Max show from a Greek dealer in the early 90's for
15 bucks.

They've been around for over 20 years.

If you burst them open, some have 'Made in Pakistan' stamped inside.

If only all the fakers were so obliging!

Yep .... Dennis is correct I can remember a while back someone was taking a sledgehammer to his fakes ... after the damage was done an article was posted that reversed a decision on one of his Wound Badges ... making it real. He was'nt too happy to say the least !!

[John Pic]

Or one guy on another forum suggesting people bend thier badges to see if they are lead. He broke a good one in half .
I dont think these are real either but I dont know when and where the thread was made Im seeing this brand for sale without the RZM tag on Manions and EBay. I remember Jim Howland a California dealer having alot of it back in the 80s untagged.

As it has been mentioned above by some of the forum members these are fake, well the labels are anyway, some of the thread is just old german thread, some i Have seen like Robin has mentioned above also they tended to be on a violet/purple core, I remember seeing these appear around the 80's at German shows
cheers

,,Jim Howland, aka wartreasure.com is still in the "repro as genuine" trade.
watch out for what I stepped in.

[Silesien]

Mike Xilas from Greece has had boxes of these available at the MAX for years.

[DJT]

Agree, I remember these from the early 1990s as well.
