Robert, the pip bothers me. From the back, it looks like an East German one with the spread out round wire prongs...Tom

Robert-

There are some items that simply scream "original" and these tabs are just calling out to me Even with just photos and not having them in hand - these tabs look 100% correct. I like the buckram backing on both, and on the runic tab the material, embroidery, etc. looks right as rain. More importantly, the pink piping looks correct, naturally aged, and the wear is consistent throughout. The pip looks "new" but all in all I really, really like these tabs

Where did you find them???

Actually, if you look closely at the back where the pip wires come though, it looks like there is another hole in between. Perhaps that is where the original pip was poked through...Tom

For my own opinon:

these are one out of the best available SS panzer copys based on an original runic tab that fool a lot of people these days.

Just my view of course.

Tom- I agree.

Mark, I cannot agree with you on that statement.
Lately I see here thumps up for bad stuff and thumps down for good things.
Make your homework and then start your comments. The best available copys look different and are done different. But I will not go deeper into this.

I will not post in the future on any forum any pictures anymore.

Mark-

Thanks for your opinion. If these are fake then they are damn good fakes and fooled me. From the pictures provided they look most convincing... The pip is imho not period, but I can totally understand it being replaced somewhere over time. The material, construction, wear, etc of the tabs themselves looks right to me though.
