Feldgendarmerie, LAH and Totenkopf cufftitle

[knoffhoff]

Hi all,
this is probably the first time I'm posting in the SS forum, usually I'm a equipment nerd.
This afternoon a friend of mine asked me for help with some cufftitles he got.
Since those are way out of my field of interest I could not even get close to give him him a conclusion whether they are good or not.
But since I know that there are many people on this forum who might be able to help,
I'm starting this thread, hoping you can tell me if they are fakes or actually good ones.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I don´t like any of them but I´m far way from being an expert...

Totenkopf is a fake
Adolf Hitler looks like original band with post war embroidery
SS-Feldgendarmerie looks to be an original cuff
Wait for the specialists to kick in with their assessments

Cuff Titles

Totenkopf is an old Reddick fake. I'm not comfortable with the Feldgendarmerie, just a gut feeling. AH is up for grabs but not liking it as well.

Thanks for your opinions so far.
From your answers I get that the Totenkopf can be cosidered fake without a doubt.

If the band on the AH one is original, I guess the same could be said for the Feldgendarmerie. At least for me both bands look alike.
Any further thought on the embroidery on the AH and Feldgendarmerie cufftitle.
Does the RZM label give any indication?

Yes, absolutely no doubt.

Personally I see nothing wrong with the SS-FG but I'm in no position to condone/condemn the hand-embroidered AH as there is too much variation .... I wouldn't buy it but that's just me.
