Opinions sought on SS badges.

I have been offered the following, I would appreciate any comments, my knowlege in this subject is not great.

Sleeve eagle


Late pattern Latvian collar (15th Division)


A Totemkopf collar



SS runes collar insigne


Edelweiss

[Totenhead]

I think the eagle and the rune's are bad.

The edelweiss looks ok, and possibly the TK, just my opinion of course, wait for more input

Do you have pictures of the reverse ?

[Kurt Meyer]

Runes TK and eagle are bad. I would like to see the backing of the rest.
Volunteer tabs is not my area so I can't comment on the front tab.

I would agree with David, I don't think any of it is original

To me the Edelweiss patch is a bit off, in particular where the two leaves meet the stem, I thought they were meant to be at the same spot, not slightly off-set. The shape of the SS runes look odd as well.

Thanks for all the relplies.

As suspected, all bad, walk away

Agreed, identical manufacture so all bad. The Latvian one had me wondering until I saw the back.
