Tab

Not fond of the basic tab. It looks like a rank tab with sewn insignia. Don't know about the metal insignia. Seems to lack detail but it also appears very worn. Based on my first reason (rank tab) I would say no. Here are two examples from Angolia's Cloth Insignia of the SS, 2nd Edition, 1989, Page 490.

Here is an original one, the ones posted by C. Betz are fakes.

hey !! sturmann

are you really sure about your statement , angolia's books are world reference and i doubt he could let fakes items fool collectors . IMO
but if you 're certain to be right please give us informations
thanks
