    Fake SS Vlaanderen.

    I took this picture on the local show last weekend. Was there a real SS vlaanderen with such SS lettering?

      only 6 silver threads at the edges?

        Yes, 6, this is one of the reasons I believe it is a repro but what I would like to know if there are original titles with these early type SS runes?

          I believe all original examples used the runes as all are block lettered and made post 1938. In 1939 manufacturing specs were changed to convert from gothic to block. Ken Lane had some produced in the 1960's that were 6-stranded bands but the embroidery on the one posted is too crude to be one of those.
          Best regards,

            I have seen this type of band before, not one i would be happy with, the example below was on a old list so they have been around for a while, this example is 6 stand also.

            cheers,

            Gary

            PS just thought I would mention that the Czech made hand embroidered bands are 6 strand!

              Another example of the 6-5-6-5 strand borders. There are various qualities of embroidery, especially on hand embroidered examples. Only the rarest titles seem to be made on this spurious 6-5 strand border type material. I would have none of them, in my collection.
