SS cloth is not my main collecting field, som im hoping for some opinions from the very knowledgeable members on this forum. Are these tabs good or bad?
, and are the pips on the rank tab the RZM version?
Any help on these would be much appreciated!

Best regards

They are good. Piping may be added or resewn.

The pips on Lazarus pair are the nice quality RZM marked pips. The ones on the collar are mid to later war pips.

Thanks all for replies!
Yes these came from Peter and they look very nice i think.
Thanks again all for the help. It is much appreciated.
I’m not going to ruin these in any way, but when on display in my cabinet they look like this.





The lion is not sewn on the tab, and will never be.
To find an original set of DNL officers tabs are close to impossible, so this is the next best thing.

I do like the tabs, but why exactly are you doing this?

Just curious.

Thanks Antiquefrog
I mainly collect medals, badges and insignia related to the Norwegians from WW2, and to find a set off original SS Frw. Legion Norwegen officer collar tabs with provenance, is as stated above, close to impossible.
These will always be a set of SD tabs, but with the lion, is the closest thing to a set of DNL tabs i will ever get i think, and a nice "space filler" in the collection.
The DNL used blank German RZM tabs (same as SD), and sew the lion on to the tabs themselves.
Some of the soldiers in DNL used blank tabs, some the usual SS tabs and others used various lions; embroided versions and metal versions like this one.
