The skull tab certainly looks to be a very nice find to me
Seen better days but hey ... Rare too

The double swastika is very common

Super collar Tab!

If your collector friend is giving out gifts, tell him I say hello!

The tab is a great item, it's nice to see a good one on here compared to recently.

What is the background to the badge I wonder? I thought survivors pin at first (like Dachau inmates had made) but I'm sure they wouldn't have the SS on it. I wouldn't even pick it up to look at at a show.

Is the anti-aircraft sight for an MG? I'd show it in the firearms section.

Wow! What a find
Nice TK tab! High end value so it will be vetted for sure.
Does it have solid provenance!

Very nice TK tab. A real beauty!

Two weeks ago I quoted him a very fair 4 figure offer for the officer tab providing it passed scrutiny on the forum.
From his photos I saw it looked good!
When I had it in hand I told him it looked original to me.
I emailed the owner (he is Jewish) to get the background.
The carved souvenir is so well done it must have been made shortly after liberation - possibly by an inmate??!
I am eager to find out more.
Here is my question to him:

If you have their name, rank, unit, photos, and any story or anecdote connected with Flossnburg it will help to establish the provenance of these SS items.
Especially if he is still alive.

Here is the entire lot he sent me:

In hand, everything looked period to me.

Emilitaria, would you please tell us what the individual being of Jewish ancestry has to do with anything?
Thank you.

Thank you.

Maybe it could imply the owner was a survivor of KL Flossenburg ?
