Trade Diamonds

[münster]

Hi

I know the one diamond with the pick axe is for pioneer.

What is the star one? Legal officer or Admin?

Thanks,

Hi Bob,

Thanks, the pics were sent to my Dad stateside, I kind of get that Pakistan vibe off them.

Out of curiosity though, what was the star one supposed to be?

Hi Dion,
The star is for administration. I'm with Bob Hritz on these. The pioneer has thread that doesn't appear right. Also the two black "boxes" on the spade is a known head's up for reproduction pioneer collar insignia. On the admin raut, the same thread type is used. On its back, there are the tell tale white dots indicative of Pakastani manufacture.

I was close on the star being admin, excellent info on the white dots! I will remember that.

The RZM tag is incorrect too. The runes look nothing like what is found on original examples, as well other things.

Thank you .

I did get that pakistani vibe from the pics, but have never handled any SS trade diamonds.

Noticed the runes on the RZM tags were sort of roundish and not sharp compared to originals.

Iam not even sure if that is real buckram under the cloth/
