Yes Sir. No good. I got stung on one of those years ago. It was sewn to a piece of feild grey sleeve material - the fake artist's way of concealing the truth.

Close but no cigar.

ok, silly question - but why?
what are the points, the faker made mistakes in?
thanks christian

1. White border on back too wide.

2. No loose threads behind wording on back.

These are the easy to spot errors.

Hi Christian, these repro titles are made for nearly every Waffen SS unit. All have the same error. You need to see the back of the title. Look at the row of little "dots" that can be seen in the weave to the edge of the title. Here is an original; see the difference?


Cheers, Ade.
