Thanks Bob hard to do sometimes when there is so many dishonest sellers out there. And I have not bought any of them I just found them out for sale...Still learning. Could you please tell me what gives for example nr 4 away. The one I thought had the best chance of being authentic. It would be very kind of you.

Hi Mike, I am glad you did not buy any of these.

In trying to find good SS insignia you are best sticking to tried and trusted honest dealers. Bargain hunting is a waste of time; the only thing it does show is how much crap there is out there!

Pic number 4: material is wrong. Look at the worn wool used and the obvious attempt to dirty the buckram backing to try and make it look old.....Construction again is wrong with bogus cutting out markings.

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you very much Adrian for your useful help They was not very cheap either a couple of hundred euros for nr 4... Can you give me any advice of good dealers that sells over the internet? That would be very useful also as references and learning.
