Thanks Gary !

Gary... I greatly appreciate your 'Call' on the referenced Items!!! I am a bit Disappointed.... but I'm Happy at the Same time - as I wish to buy only the "Real Deal" in SS Cloth. I've been collecting for > 25 years, but primarily in Daggers & Swords / Degens, until the last 5 years - - - I 'discovered' CLOTH! But, this field of Cloth is a true Minefield, when compared with Blades, IMHO. Thank you ALL very much for preventing me from making a very Costly Mistake (Purchase!) ........ Best, Dave .......dblmed

Thank you Besslein!!!
......The Experienced SS Cloth Collectors here on WAF are such a Welcome Knowledge Base to less experienced Collectors - in this current world of NET Dealer "Misrepresentation" of Items.

Yes, from Ralf Hass, in Deutschland, with an Ebay Rating of 98-99%, and many 100's of Items Sold! Also with a "100% Guarantee of TR Authenticity...(Just shows that a + Ebay Rating is meaninless in the TR arena for this guy! )

I thank you! ......... Dave ....dblmed

I would let this group pass.

The SS-Feldgendarmerie cuff title is a complete fake and of the wrong weave. The collar tabs and eagle are close, but the design, of the collar tabs, is off and the reverse is incorrect for so early a pair of collar tabs.

That repro version of the SS2 tab seem to pop up more and more often!

Many THANKS to Everyone ! ! ! Dave

I wish to Sincerely THANK All of my Old Friends, and you New Friends, regarding your perceptive Judgment of the submitted SS Cloth Items! WOW, you are All GOOD!

I have so many Reference Books: Angolia’s "SS Cloth" – Mike Beaver’s 3 Books & Camo Book on SS Cloth – Robin L’s Books on the SS – and many Others. Yet, I still haven’t developed the skilled ‘Eye’ for discerning the ‘Fakes…’

In my profession, I can Read the small spots on X-Rays; place sequential Sutures @ 5 mm intervals from one another & tell by ‘feel’ if a Nodule is likely to be Cancer (95%) – but I certainly don’t seem to be able to transfer those Skills ….. to the area of SS Cloth. (But, I spent countless years in Schools & Colleges, and have been at Medical Practice for 30 years … gaining those skills.) So, I am REALLY Glad that you guys are all around – and are so Intuitive and so very Helpful, with the almost Mystical World of SS Knowledge & Experience.

But, Like my friend GRIP (Ivan) wrote to me, I am going to Join the "SS … TRY IT AGAIN CLOTH CLUB" for those of us with "Poor Eyes & Recognition Skills!"

Just for interest, the Seller has 735 Unique POSITIVE Feedbacks & an Eban Score of 99.5% Rating (!) But…. We know that it is meaningless :>(

In the final bidding, the:
Cuff Title = 10 Bidders, Sold for 210 Euros…
Tabs & Eagle = 13 Bidders, Sold for 252 Euros…

LESSON LEARNED: Be Patient & Submit ALL SS Cloth … to the Forum!

Again, I thank you All (!) ……. Dave …… dblmed
