NSDAP Zeltbahn SS

[BOB COLEMAN]

While I'm not familiar with this particular kind of tag, for me several of the fonts used do not fall in line with the "family" of RZM tags, and I suspect its a fake...

I agree. A fake tag. You can form your opinion on the zeltbahn from this.

Ok,many thanks guys for the info !

I wondered why the example posted in #1 is designated on the label as 'Zeltplane' when the correct terminology is 'Zeltbahn'. The example appearing the Ulric of England book (p. 249) has a white RZM label marked 'Zeltbahn' and is dated to 1935. The photo is credited to R Hassler, who is mentioned above.

Since it seems you are rejecting the opinion of our esteemed members. I have collected the referred to images to illustrate the difference between your fake tag and those deemed authentic. You can thank F-B, Robert H. and DrCMH for the images.

The example you show is most certainly meant to deceive. Good luck.

Thanks Jham, That bottom image you posted is the baby I was looking for

My friend Mr. JHAM shows the proper item, in all detail. We have here the authority on markings of the SS and RZM bar none.
No other source scarcely has reached our level of scholarship and visual resources. Period.

The tag on the first item is a joke. Sorry to be blunt, but blunt I am ....

See enclosures. You won't find them in detail on the other sites, nor with any useful analysis.


Good luck.

Let me repeat something here: I take no pleasure in knocking down the fond hopes of the newly arrived here. None whatsoever.
None the less, the truth is pitiless and the items we desire are also wholly without any pity for our striving. They demand their tribute.
Hence, there are no short cuts, no easy way to fathom the truth.
