I saw this Estonia dachaumade collartab for sale.
Can someone confirm if this one is genuine please?
If so, what is the rarity of these kind of tabs?

Thanks

I only know another dachau typE,not a dachau piece in my opinion.

Sorry I don't believe it to be original either.

Here are some original Estonian 1st pattern tabs.

Can I ask why the tab that started this post isn't viewed as original ?
As the last imaged posted shows many original variants of which the first looks almost identical to one or two ?

Embroidery is different from the known originals and the texture of the black cloth is wrong.

Well I am not convinced ....
I don't think it is ... considering there are so many variants
It looks the same to me

That's as maybe ...
But I would have thought the embroidery is the important issue here
Its only a backing

And the reverse not to be forgotten... That gave me cold feet before seeing the actual front...

[RobertE]

The material is too coarse and the backing is off, as is the embroidery. Look at the distance of the sword cross guard from the "E" in the variation tabs shown - no variant is that far away.

I'm sorry, but the material variations and difference in pattern are not correct, and I believe this is a definite replica.

Thanks for the help guys.

I found the same tab on Weitze's website which is imo quit the same.
Used clothmaterial, distance crossguards to the E. Only the backing is different but there are many many different backings...

Yes Dave, that's right. The price is £99 but he sold a Chained type A SS dagger aswell for a fraction from what's it really worth... to me... :-)
But I know that he has lot of fake stuff aswell. Just gotta have luck from time to time...
