Hello Gerd

The so called RZM collar tabs, is there realy a little black space from the runes to the border around the runes or is it a shadow? Earlyer collar tabs and a BeVo cufftitle, I mean we know a lot of things are posiible and not everything has to be textbook and I agree with it. But I don´t know, that needs then a well done inspection and then I guess still knowbody knows 100% original attached or not.

Hellooo, where is the orignal owner

Hi Robert,

no, it's not a shadow. There is a little seperation between the runes and the border around the runes.

I'm also troubled by the runic. The border of the runes is always a thing to look for, since this is usually a feature that 'they' get wrong.

In over 30 years collecting, I have only ever seen ONE Waffen-SS field tunic which I was satisfied in my own mind was totally untouched.

The vast majority are put-togethers.

I think this particular tunic appears on page 9 of this month's 'Armourer' magazine.

I could not agree with you more The only way I think I would be satisfied in my own mind is if I got it from the Vet himself.

yes i m like robin, all SS tunics that i have seen in 20 years collecting have been put together. But liked i sayed in a different thread, as long the tunic is an original SS model and all insignias are original even if post war applied, this would be as the closet as we get to an original SS tunic these days.

Hi Gerd -

Have you black-lighted the award loops by any chance? It is a little rare to find black thread used, but not impossible.

Don

[hochiminhtrail]

i m affraid that just by blaklightening the threads is not enough, you find old sweeing threads without any phospore in it on every flea market, in germany as well as in US.

so this can not be granted for a guarantee.

Hi Alex -

Agreed, but if they glow like a pregnant woman, I would say that it would indicate something, no?


Don

[hochiminhtrail]

yes you right, just lets hope they dont.

Hi Don and Alex,
