This is a tough one to make ... But I feel this pair is a fake
Perhaps its the camera shot but these are not for me

Agree with David. I especially don't like the thread used for the runes and overall construction in general.

I see a textbook RZM pattern machine embroidered Runes collar tab in light-grey that was worn for most of the war. I see age, with wear to the nap of the Moleskin cloth around the top and front sides, and age and light soiling to the silk embroidered Runes. Perfect textbook straight threads across the Runes, with tight woven border. In my opinion this is identical to the example shown on p. 111 of Insignia and Artifacts of the Waffen SS by Michael D. Beaver and Mark A. Bando.

The runes have been made older with tea or rust water or something, you can cleary see the bright white thread of the runes. Also a strange rune stitching an the overall look that bothers me.

No for me either.
