Raute

I have concerns over the quality of the overall embroidery, especially the execution of the feet and lack of defined details of the wings. Here is the raute from Agolia's Cloth Insignia of the SS, 2nd Edition, 1989, Page 273.

Sorry but I agree with Charles.

Thank you guys
Picure below of original patch
It's looks exactly like the one I just post

[chahler]

Any more opinion on this patch ?

[Winkelman]

Your badge is just fine , IMO .
This time I will have to go against the opinions of gentlemen Betz and Hulley , but for a very good reason ;
the badge shown in Angolia's cloth insignia is a FAKE .

Originals were machine embroidered in white , and the same goes for the Presse und Kriegswirtschaft eagle diamond shown 2 pages later ( page 273 of the 1st edition ) .

Pictured in the book are the >> silver bullion and PADDED << badges that were sold by DELTA enterprises in the 1970's ..

[Winkelman]

Here's a better look at that fake ( shown in Angolia ) , the construction is very typical ..

[Winkelman]

Same with the other Raute in Angolia - it's also a " padded " Delta fake .
