Real ID or not?

Was surfing around and found this. What do you all think? Thanks dudes.










And the LAH tag:






I have my doubts, but why not ask around? Thanks again dudes.

The KL one looks real enough, but I've not seen a 100% proven real one before so can't match it to anything. The LAH one is doubtful though since I have owned discs that listed Kompanie numbers, but this one has a Bataillon number, and it's correctly LSSAH, not SS LAH, AND the extremely low roll number would indicate an original, pre-war member of the unit but this is a mid-war steel disc, which themselves are often difficult to authenticate.

Looks like I found some doozies here. Normally when in see LAH tags i question its authenticity alot! Got me wondering on these now.

Didn't know this first one was a KL tag specifically. Wonder which KL this tag was designated for...."BU" Buchenwald? Still wondering if its legit... Since none to compare too its a hard choice being hard to compare another such tag. Thanks Matt for your opinion.

Well you're certainly right to question LAH discs you find- this one's no different; as I wrote, I have real doubts about it so I don't think it's anything to wonder about...

Oh sorry about the miscommunication Matt. I was talking about the KL tag specifically. My mistake dude. Take care and thanks again buddy.

Ah, okay, I just didn't want you thinking I'd said it might be real and buy the thing LOL

The KL one is pretty convincing-looking though- but I'd never recommend buying an uncertain SS disc unless the price is really worth the risk, and the type is just so interesting it'd be sad to miss.
