Re: finaly the last ss collar tab
What I see the most of, are corners just sewn together with a few stitches. Not a line of stitch running the length of the tab. I am guessing that what I am describing is a fake.
Thanks for the extra effort and lesson

Re: finaly the last ss collar tab
My pleasure.
I should add that the white stitch line on the "Dachau pattern" tab is just a guide line for folding the cloth over the buckram backing during it's construction.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: finaly the last ss collar tab
Thank you again for that little nugget. I am glad I have not gotten too far into collecting SS regalia. I fear I would have drawers full of fakes...apparently I am very adept at purchasing those.

Re: finaly the last ss collar tab
I will tell you this, I have lost more money buying bad SS cloth than on everything else put together. All SS collectors if they are honest will tell you the same thing....It can be hard apprentiship at times.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: finaly the last ss collar tab
Ade...it's actually a little comforting knowing that even the pros get fooled every once in a while.
Since I started posting pics of my gear here, I think I'm standing at 30% real, 69.5% fake and .5% unknown.

Re: finaly the last ss collar tab
We all have to start somewhere and with SS cloth it is usually a painful journey.
Take some comfort in your stats: I have seen long established collections with much worse figures than that once the truth come out.
Cheers, Ade.
