Several SS Erkennungsmarken i just bought....real?

[Matt L]

Actually that's a pretty common pattern and I believe it's just a mix of the two normal ones- meaning the cord was worn one way for a while and the other for a while. It's consistent with the original directions for stringing the cord, which involved an extra looping, causing the wear marks to be vertical, and the simpler way which caused the horizontal one. It may just appear to have been made all at once.

Thanks Matt! Do you know anyone who might want the Estonian and the Deutchland?

Just put them up for sale on the forum and see who bites. It's a shame they are 1/2 discs otherwise I might be interested. Are there any markings on the reverse of the Estonian?

[Newbie]

Yes, 77 is on the reverse....i really do not know what to even price them for, lol... my Fther-in-law said use my discretion, lol

[Newbie]

The Estonian is full, just broken

[Matt L]

Well if you got a deal on them, does it matter that much what you sell them for- anything is profit, no? Really unless you desperately need to get rid of them, you could try $100 each or something and see if you get any bites- if not, you can always reduce...

I actually have quite a few Estonian SS tags but not to the Estonian Legion in the format posted , i'll have to check it against originals !!

[Paul D]

All the Estonian Legion tags i have seen are in this format !!

[Matt L]

Right, that's the Ersatz one I mentioned- not the same unit so not really useful for comparison, unfortunately.

[Paul D]

As far as i know Matt this is the normal format for the Legion , i;ve never seen one in the type posted by Newbie , have you seen one of the with the full Legion designation before ?

[Newbie]

I posted the ones for sale in the classifieds section, no price, just taking offers.... i didn't want to price to high or to low, figured i see what happens, if anything, lol !
