SS insignia fakes or the real deal????

[herrgeezer]

I've posted a couple of items recently asking for opinions. Now I would like to show you all the following items for your feedback.

What do you think about these Hauptsturmführer tabs? Good or bad and why?





How about this metal cap TK?





I bought these years ago and have never asked for opinions, thinking that they were no good.

Thanks for looking.

Well....

the SS officer collar tabs are fakes in my opinion. The twisted cord is only two strands and it should be 3. Also the embroidery of the runes are of bad quality. The backing material is most unusual and strange....

No good

Im sorry,

Felix

No... these didn't come from ebay and they were not sold as originals, but I wondered how close to originals they were. I got these at a local militaria show about 6 years ago.

The skull is quite pathetic in my opinion.
