So far, everything looks fine to me. Most of it is typical of what was found in the Dachau clothing depot. The rank tab with the pip looks a little long to be an SS tab. Compare the shape of that tab to the others. Still, its a good tab.

Agree everything is original, mostly the more "common" (for SS) tabs, Vol. sleeve shields, etc.....the chevrons could be W-SS or Panzer (same val. anyway), scarcist items are probably the SD sleeve diamond & SD shldr. board, .....

I'll leave the prices up to you....depends on how quickly you want to sell them, what you paid, and how "greedy" you are.... there's nothing wrong with selling for a fair profit at "realistic" retail price.... you have high and low prices.... use the "average" (or whatever).... that's up to you.

The rank tab is probably still W-SS, probably just not from the "Dachau" made stocks. It might have been something being recycled there, however (removed from surplus or salvaged uniforms for reuse).

Good luck...

Thanks for the replies so far guys.

Yeah they are the more common items that is also partly the reason I might put them up for sale and move onto another field that offers some more "bang for your buck". As a college student funds aren't that huge so collecting has kind off stagnated with the more common affordable items I have now and the financial leap to more high end items being huge. I still love SS items and the history though.

Everything SS related sells so fast you hardly get the chance to save up for anything either. Some things I have an idea what they go for but others I don't really know. The Denmark shield, Horst Wessel tan, rank tab, chevrons and shoulder board I have no idea on the SD shield not really either since I have seen them for $250 but also $450.

Just looking to get a fair price or at least what I paid not looking to gouge people for max profit

. have to take into account the starting price for the "Dutch auction" way of estand.

Probably going to put that money into cloth headgear.

For a 450 sd diamond I would be expecting thick cloth and an rzm tag. If this is one of the thin ones I'd pitch to the lower end. (Hold it by the very tip. Thick ones may bend a little where you are holding it but the body stays quite straight. The thin type flop straight down over your thumb

All ok, the rank tab is LW pioneer with a pip added and so trying to be SS.

So its a fake? It came from a respectable dealer so that would be kind of a bummer.

It might be perspective though. Kind of hard to explain. The tab kind off bends inward creating a slight bowl. If I flatten it out ( don't want to mess with it to much) its roughly the same shape and size as the Dachau tabs. Could the cloth have been reapplied to tight causing the weirdish shape?

This is why I run everything through here. I don't want to burn anyone. God knows I have been burned enough in the past.

Thanks for the replies so far everyone, appreciate it.
