Here's a Dirlewanger tab that is available along with what is almost certainly a bogus dog tag. Even if the tab is original, it is still kinda spendy given it's condition (one has to figure the tag has no value).
This tab is claimed to be Dachau manufacture. I note that the rifle buttstocks are hollow and very flimsy, instead of solid as I've seen on every other Dachau Dirlewanger I've looked at. I'm thinking it is fake, but I just want to be sure I'm not missing some variation.
Also, the original dealer who is supposed to have sold this tab to the current owner has put other virtually identical (to include the same location of the staining) Dirlewangers up online - I've come across one on another militaria site.
