Is this NCO collar tab original?

[RobertE]

Hi folk,
I picked this up in an antique store; the fellow had some Dachau insignia in a case, and three items in his "fake case" - but this looked real to me so I took a chance for 20.00. Is it a good one? s/f Robert

Hello Robert,

THat looks like a very nice and original NCO runic tab.

I'll give you $40.

[herrgeezer]

Yeah ... you might want to go back and get all the stuff in his "fakes case" ... just in case.

SS Collar Tab

A great find and an excellent collar tab in wonderful condition. Nice on all counts.

Thanks fellows, I'm delighted! He had an entire case of Dachau stuff, but had identified and priced them high if anything. This tab was on top of a pile of British regimental badges with an obviously replica Krim shield and DK. I saw it on the way out and asked to see it; the dealer thought it was bad because it was so thin and the runes looked too new, compared to the Dachau unit patches he had.

Thank you Gerd! It looks as though you have been doing very well yourself! s/f Robert

Good catch~!
Since I have been doing this, I have only come across 2 of those flatwire runics, and neither are in as nice of shape as yours!

[RobertE]

Thanks Jerry, I hadn't seen one myself "in the wild" but didn't think they were particularly tough to find (probably because I wasn't looking!). I appreciate he information. s/f Robert
