No they are not original IMO! Wrong shape of runes and not symmetrical to the tab. Bad twisted border and I dont like the sewing attachments of the prongs of the pips.

Better luck next time,

I'd side with Felix on this. Actually when I saw the first picture with the backs I said to myself, "Nope!"

Officers tabs

Hi Mark,
Nothing wrong with selling them as copies for a copy price.

I agree with the others posting. These tabs have all the incorrect attributes that could possibly be found on a set of insignia. As noted by Felix that attaching the prongs by thread gives rise to an inaccurate mounting as well as other defects described.

We recently had an unterscharfuhrer tab pass this way with the same attaching method for the pip. I wonder if this is the start of a new series of fakes out there.
