SS OFFICER BULLION SLEEVE EAGLE , Deceased Estate Find

[msteve21]

Hello
Need help with this SS Officer Sleeve Eafgle, given to me from an deceased esate (collector) came with collar tabs, and shoulder boards.

Is it real or a good fake?

[Arran]

Its certainly not the norm, but I kind of like it!

[Ludwig]

IMO not original.

More Info on Fake identification

Thx for the replys, possibly to expand on how its identified as a repo?

[Ludwig]

Search this forum and compare to original ones posted earlier!

Tried that

Tried that before posting this thread.
Didn't find anything that matched, fake or real.
Shown it to several collectors and dealers and so far no one has been able to provide a definte answer eithier way, although one dealer offered me $300.
By all accounts its not a commonly encounted design, fake or real.
Thank you for you input Ludwig

I'm no expert on SS cloth but I wouldn't have an issue with it.

Hand done bullion work (SS or other branches) does have a certain amount of individuality to it. Just my opinion...

This one falls under nyaaaaaaaaaaaah could be, but to me it may be an early post war product...never saw one like it on a uniform so that even makes it tougher...not a text book piece.Lets see the tabs and boards usually if one part of a set is bad the rest are.

good luck with individuality, I am not playing much with that around in such an expensive field of collecting.

Will post the boards tonigt , tabs sold .
The items are not a set as such, the eagle came with selection of army bullion eagles that were pinned on a board, the same with other insignia.

The black thread highlights are so like most early post war repros...I have real doubts it is authentic but you never know.
