Tabs to See

[Skip Pickett]

Hey guys: I have a buddy offering these in trade... Opinions please if you don't mind. I may keep one and sell one, or sell both. But bottom line, I don't want to take them if they aren't correct.

Back photo is not so good, the backing is that brown heavy looking canvas.

Thanks!
Skip

Hi skip
I like the tk but I'm not sure about the runic,someone may be able to give you a opinion on the runic.
Cheers
Dave.

Tk is 100% No expert but Id say the runic is fake imo,,,,,,,

I'd say both are fake, the bevo is a poor quality fake, the Tk looks much like a Delta fake, seen peddled on ebay. The skull is in the wrong position and is too small compared to an original. Look in the "fakes" section of this forum and you will see one like yours.

Regards,

The runic tab is definately bad. The Totenkopf tab looks like a late Dachau piece, but better pics are needed to know for sure.

John:

Its easy to mistake the late Dachau tab for the delta fake.Delta ( IMO) probably came the closest to matching the style of Dachau tabs. They were based here in NJ & I must say we should all be glad they are no longer around...Im sure they would have perfected the construction & the hobby would be more the minefield than it already is now. Back to the TK they made several variants (screwups if you will) and one was VERY VERY close to the original. Do a suide by side with this one ( in this thread 1000000% original btw) & the one in the fake gallery.....you will see the difference but I must say you really have to study it! Best regards Rich

Totenkopf collar tab is a fine original, textbook piece.

The runic tab looks much like those made in Holland and Belgium. It would take a hands-on inspection to get a better feel for the runic tab.
