Hello fellow collectors,

Need some help on these SS Tabs & a single SD Diamond patch.

The first photo is only darker to show the bullion wire at its best. Too bright & it would not show the detail at all. I can photograph anything again though, just ask.

I brought these in France about 25 years ago. Kept them very well packed & in a dark place so no moths near at all. And it worked.

OK, with 2 out of 3 of my recent pieces put up for opinion on WAF, & getting a big negative, I'm ready for the worst. Although to my credit, these collar tabs look all good to me. Very well made, no UV/Black Light brightness & what looks to be all correct fabric & bullion wire. Sturmbannführer pips look good too.

But I thought things were good when were in fact very wrong in the past.

The SS Rune collar tab, I was told by the person who I got them from, was stuck down to a display board & that is why there is old glue & damage to the rear only.

Looks superb from the front. Don't think they have been used ever, don't know?

I am very confident of the SD Sleeve Diamond though. To me this is textbook with the right RZM tag too.

I hope the SS Tabs are good though....

C'mon guys, make me happy again, please....

Cheers

Hello David,

Would really like to know the problems with the SS Tabs, so I know??
I brought all 3 pieces from the same guy in France 25 years ago.

Regimentals wanted them off me about 10 years ago, but I kept them as I always had confidence in them due to the high quality.

When compared to good copies, they look totally superior. The pips are textbook 2 prong type, and seen a good few in various posts on WAF.

But if they are bad then that is that.

Cheers though.

I'll re photo the SS Tabs in different light, to show the construction & overall quality.

Thanks

Better pics of the Tabs I hope with better lighting?

Rear angle views of the Runic tab. The person I got these from 25 years ago removed this from a display board hence the nasty glue that has damaged the centre of the tab.

Front & rear views of the Runic tab. On the rear is the nasty glue after the original owner removed this from a display board. Shame really, unless these are very wrong??

Need help on these as they got a negative already & I've been keeping them safe for 25 years.... Just my luck if they are wrong.

So please comment & I shall listen.

Thanks.

I have noticed with these pictures, I cannot get the woven black fabric to show how it really is!!

These are the same tabs in daylight & close to try & show fabric weave.
Think it is working.

Thanks.
