SS Collar Tabs - Opinions

[Ludwig]

I must say I like what I see. The rank tab is very rare, matching the woven runes!

[madandi]

a match?
Sorry but i dont think so.
The runs are woven in a Raute with structur.outside the material has not such structur.
The material of the ranktab is woven without that border between the structur and "no structur"
normal Bevo-ranktabs which would match have this border.

So is this really a original tab? not a bevo, but a similar? i have never seen any thread of such a tab here with positiv feelings.

I stand correct! This is how it should be:

Yes, a fine and MATCHING pair.
But the ranktabs look not like these pair. Do i missunderstand yomething here?

No, you don´t misunderstand anything.
I stand correct bedeutet, dass ich mein Fehler hiermit korrigiere!

[madandi]

So i mussunderstood you, sorry.
Danke für die Aufklärung!
It´s hard to follow all the discussions in english. School is so long ago

Ein ganz kleines Problem, Kamerad!
Was sammelst Du?

Here is a thread that shows the same type of rank tab paired up with a bevo runic tab.

So the most users think that this kind of tab can be real?
Is there any proof or is it just an opinion.
This is no offense, but i´m really sceptical and want to know the truth about
this kind of tabs.
How can anyone know if it is a period tab or just a new put together?
A bevotab is really simple to identify , but this tabs, only made with a simply piece of thread without any examples to compare with?
I still have my doubts.

Hi madandi
I don't know if there rank tabs are real,all I would say is it is definitely not a true bevo rank tab.
I'm sure I have seen a tunic posted here on the waf that had one in this style sewn to it.

Hi Dave!
That is our problem. We don´t life before 1945 and can only tell what we have been told or we had read.
A lot from a vet could even includ fakes. Item that was bougth after the war to replace a lost item. So on such "odd" items i have strong doubts but i can´t be sure that this type of similar-bavoetab is a real wartime tab or a replacement, caused on the very, very rare real Bevoranktabs.

Please try to convince me, i´m always want to learn.

[Raymond270]

To Me it looks good but maybe the backing was replaced at some time and that is why all the thread is loose. The cardboard backing should be kinda brown.

[madandi]

To all the believers, here is the next round to buy it:

I´m still not convinced, that the rank-tab is original.

These rank tabs are real...as discussed in the thread attached earlier. Here is one I picked up at this years SOS show..has the correct cheescloth backing material. Nothing wrong with these...they are just not bevo but a different ribbed material being used.
