Re: SS Tag Original?
The text doesn't make any sense to me. I wouldn't touch it...
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

Re: SS Tag Original?
It did not look like any SS tag I had seen but I certainly do not know them all.

Letters also look very crude to me also

Re: SS Tag Original?
Well there is a recognizable system to unit designations and text, and this is a jumble. An Arabic number before a slash generally indicates a Kompanie, a Roman numeral indicates a Bataillon (of a Regiment) but '7/IIR' means nothing. The 7. Kompanie of an Infanterie-Regiment would be in the II. Bataillon, but it's obvious so you don't generally get both; and 'R' invariably stands for 'Regiment', which makes no sense as that disc has it. 'N' would most usually stand for 'Nachrichten' and just on its own 'SS N 50' would seem to be 'SS-Nachrichten-Abteilung 50' but there was no such unit, and an Abteilung is the same level a unit as a Bataillon so all that first line stuff doesn't fit either. It's a mess, so is doubtless a fake.
And actually gel, the letters are pretty typical and don't look crude really- the straight lines are straight, the curves are consistent and so on. Crude would be like some of those in the fakes sticky thread- particularly the 'Rokas' type that are just nasty.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

Re: SS Tag Original?
The disc looks more circular than the more oval standard. Is this normal?
