Michael have you tried to look in the fake SS insignia threads in the top of this SS forum?

I also advice on using the search function of this forum.

Its an old book mark fake SS cuff as already stated and you would have found the answer yourself if you would have taken the time to use the above mentioned functions. In this hobby YOU need to know what you are doing.

Best regards

Yes Felix, I did. Can you send the link the the one in question? As for knowing what to do: I humble myself to the people who know. I'm sorry if my question troubled you. I appreciate your gentle suggestion though...

It is in the fake insignia section that is pinned at the top of this forum.

If you’re going to get into cuff titles, may I suggest investing in these works:

German Military Cuffbands; 1784-Present by Gordon Williamson and Thomas McGuirl

A Collectors Guide to SS and Political Cuffbands Vols. I & II by Ulric of England.

Cloth Insignia of the SS by John Angolia

Though none of these books are cheap, they will save you money in the long run.

Thank you Charles.

The two Cufftitles I have are Vet acquired pieces. This WIKING title was being offered as an addition to a questionable SS Helmet.

I do agree, spend the money on Books. I had my doubts on this one due to the narrow text of the WIKING. Thank you for the link and the suggested reading. This is great benefit to others as well.

Cheers.

Hi Michael, these repros have been around since the late 1970's.

Good work Charles!

Micahel; Im not troubled at all by your question. I rather tried to give you some help on the way. Its not that easy to collect SS items. Knowledge is almost everything in this hobby. However that cuff title in question is one of the easiest style cuffs to identiy as a fake. Thats why I wanted give you a "little kick up the bum" to do you your homework the next time


No hard feelings.
