I wandered into these. Anybody know the story behind them?

[fjcollector]

theyre fake.

[Rich Moran]

theyre fake.

Please expound on your statement.

[Ian Hulley]

The quality of the embroidery isn't anywhere near as fine as the example on the Reichsheini's white tunic.

Hand embroidery leaves scope for differences though ..... let us hear the

pedigree that stretches back many decades

Good or not, I would have brushed them off a little before posting the pictures. What are all those white flecks everywhere?

[Ian Hulley]

Look on this ... http://www.craiggottlieb.com/data/in...+General+Visor

Interesting, but I am not sure that is a moustachio skull.

Maybe not ... photo doesn't help though does it, makes it look like ridges where ridges shouldn't be. Top end dealer prices, bottom end ambiguous photos.

I Have Seen A Set Of S A Stabschef Tabs And Reichsjugendfruhrer Tabs That Were All Made By The Same Hand. Likely, These Were Made In Small Quantites. I Believe They Date Back To The Late 70's Or Early 80's

The quality in the embroidery is not what I would expect to see, nor do they compare favorably with known original examples. I personally do not like these tabs, and I too would like to hear the 'pedigree' behind them...

I would have to entertain strong doubts about the authenticity of whole that cap.

thats what i was basing my opinion off of. plus the lack of the little brass beeds, they apear to be in mint condition so i would expect to see at least one or two of the beeds still attached..
the quality of the embroidery is what really turned me off about the set.

The relic (collar tabs) are reproduction, so the story doesn't matter!!! Just another made up story that has no meaning.
