I have no doubts about the originality of the tab which I posted. There seems to be a wide circle of opinions on these tabs. I took the pics at night so the runes may appear to be fuzzy. I posted a set of cutoff SS officer tabs and a few other SS items in the past which were all accepted as original. This tab is from the same vet's family. If it needs to be discussed further then I will try to get some better pics.

I agree with Felix and HohenstaufenOriginally posted by Felix View Post
this a a 1990's rerpo with a RZM tag added ( wrong code) there is a whole series of these type collar tabs all lack the correct finer details . The first one I saw was a "SS P" sold by Peter Jenkins in the early 1990's, there where two of them actually . Good fakes but still fake.....Comment

and you get the same quality for bullion tabs as wellComment

Ok, As promised, here are some high quality fake lettered & numbered SS Rune tabs. As Jim Toncar said, these started out in the 1990's. The ones pictured were all coming out of Europe and being offered to me from two different dealers. The fake skull vertical EM tabs were being offered as well, at or around, the same time frame. The fake skull tabs with the numbers below started to surface about five or six years ago. As Robert Hassler has mentioned as well, the fake bullion rune and skull tabs are getting very good. So, be very careful when purchasing these tabs!Comment

Good postings of these reproductions Hohenstaufen. I believe the last SS1 tabs you posted are similar to a fake series with connections to Italy.
These are very good indeed and hence fool many as a sad result. I feel more and more are starting to get aware though.
Here is another repro SS1 in the same style as above.

Felix,
The tab that I posted and your example of a repro are not the same. Print them both and you will see the difference. The runes are closer together on mine and the 3 is different and further below the rune. It also has an original code B RZM tag.
