Well, I have seen only about two perhaps three (including mine) in used/worn condition. So for me these are rare. Indeed mint ones are often seen and not expensive.

Thats more than I have seen but there are for sure hidden gems in collections. And as we have come to know from period photos of the late stages in the war they were issued to some extent. Most likly more common than we think.
I think this picture was once presented as showing a Dutch tab ,
but on closer observation it really is a regular " SS runes " tab on a somewhat folded collar .
Like the duck / rabbit picture , your eyes may start seeing it both ways ..
