Runic Officers Tabs

[Stossgruppe3]

This pair of Officer Collar Tabs have been shown to a few members on this forum. Unfortunately they had the market divided as two said they are okay while another two said not so keen.
If this set makes it through the course I would like to sell them if they get the thumbs up.
So what your opinion on these please ... ?

I would pass on them, I'm not keen on their construction. Also, I think the RZM tag on the back is fake.

Agree with ETN.

Collar Tabs

The angle of the runes bothers me, along with the material used as the buckram on the rank tab. I would pass on these.

they do look a little different. The one pip to me looks different as well but maybe its just me, but pips could have been replaced. I am also not fond of the paper tag. Normally the circle where the SS runes sit in is almost all black and filled in better. I would not want these and would pass. JMO though!

[panzer224]

I would pass as well. I do not feel comfortable with them and the tag really shows a red flag based on how long it could have been on there

[Herbert Wolter]

The tag is indeed fake and Charles Betz is correct re the runes: their particular slant marks them as fakes.

Rzm tag is for sure original. No question IMO.
As regarding the runes tab and rank tab, I do not rule out they are original, but I would not have bought them myself. Runes are not would I expect to see.

Not original – IMO.

[Arran]

The RZM tag is absolutely fake, IMO. The serial number spacing is all wrong, and the formation of the letters in the writing is "off"...I'll bet the paper isn't quite right either...

[David48]

I agree bad tag.

[Felix]

Yes, perhaps you are correct that it is a bad rzm tag. It fooled me as a start. I think I have made bad call, and I excuse for that. That is life. Too much information to handle... and too little time for research sometimes.

Some members have very sharp eyes. Well spotted and well done!

Cheers,
Felix
