Hallo

Could I kindly ask for your opinion on this set. I have never seen that kind before!

The litzen and pips are good but i doubt the tabs.

[Chris_Werner]

The Runes seem too thick to me, and are not correctly centered on the Tab. I don't care for the Runes Tab.
Not sure about the Rank Tab.

Forget about these tabs being original! Too may faults and ifs! Bad shape of the runes, bad cutting and construction of the black felt on the reverse, wrong tan backing material.

Hi Felix. I agree with you that the tabs are bad, but you lost me on the wrong tan backing material. Could you explain this to me. I have seen all sorts of backing material, even cardboard on good tabs. If you ask me, some of that white Dachau backing material looks like fiberglass, rather than original WWII backing material.
What is good and what is bad?

Thanks for your input - We can all see that this set isn´t a "Text Book" exampel but have any of you had the same kind in your hands and for sure know that these are made after 1945??

Ive seen this type a few times and also used on faked tunics. They are old and probably date back to the 60s.More importantly they have never been seen in period photos.

Thanks John

The runes, tress and piping are all bad imho. I can't say anything about the pips from these pics, but that shouldn't really matter...
