Pink tab SS BeVo?

[collado250]

I know the tab's RZM with pink edge. The Bevo is good (IMO). But with side edge pink cap? Does anyone know?

Well, with the Schwere SS Panzerabteilung 503 wearing the pink soutache on issued uniforms in 1944 there could well be a possibility I think.

Best,

For whats its worth: "Osprey Panzer crewman" mentions these.

While the tab with this type of piping uses original materials, I would never accept one as genuine unless I bought it from the vet. I prefer to see this type of piping machine sewn before the tab is attached to the backing, which is impossible with an SS tab unless it's taken apart. This tab modification with this type piping is all too easy to make. There is an SS LAH panzer wrap using this type of piping on the collar, and I don't care for it...but that's me.

I am much more comfortable with the rayon piping being used and machine or hand applied. I would even tend to shy away from mint examples done properly. There are quite a few fakes using real SS tabs and bogus pink piping that is just wool folded over, and not correct German WWII wool either. There was a flurry of SS officer rank tabs with 3 pips and the fake pink piping sold a few years back. Caution is the key word here.

The tabs in the picture are absolutely RZM type and not bevo, the keypoint here being that pink piping was still in use in the late war period, so considering the time frame bevo was used it would have been a possibility I suppose to see bevo with pink soutache. I have never seen one though in this configuration.

Cheers.

There have been several good threads on this topic before. A quick search yielded these among others (some RZM, some BeVo):
