So i've been offered these, never collected anything SS before so wanted to get the opinions of some more experienced collectors and maybe learn a think or two!
hopefully the links work for the pictures

It is junk. Plain and simple so save your money and spend it on good things instead

Rather than just tell you they are bad, here are some of the things that jump out at me:

The pip looks to be East German.
The RZM tag is phony.
The runes are horribly miss shaped and poorly executed.
The material the runes are embroidered on is unlike anything used for TR insignia.
The runes are off centered.
I would be willing to bet that the core of the thread used for the runes (and maybe the paper of the RZM tag) is black light responsive.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk, but that's what I see.

The reasons why they dont is . . . . You repair the faults and so do the fakers.

My problem is that most, if not all new comers to the hobby (of collecting SS insignia) dont study ~
They have the hobby handed to them on a plate with a yes or no answer.
I can imagine some collections are made up of insignia in which a experienced collect has said yes its okay, but sadly they do know why ?
Which brings me back you . . . study study study and look very carefully and count the stitches, compare compare compare.
I am sure most of the older chappies here know what I am talking about ~ and lets not forget we didn't have the world wide wait to help us either
This is a prime example . . . .
