RZM Paper Tag

Article about: There is something wrong with this "kind" of RZM paper tag imo. Compared to other known originals I noticed several different points.

    I think that the brown we see on the back of the Tyr-rune is a buckram stiffener rather than cloth backing per se. I don't believe it would be seen from the front. But it is technically an SA badge, and I can't imagine the SS keeping stocks of their own, but you never know...

    I had seen this fake tags on various items:

    +Hand embroided and machine embroided SS cuff titles

    +Hand embroided and machine embroided collar Tabs

    +Alte Kämpfer Winkel

    Even Ulric of England got fooled by one of this bands. One LAH band machine embroided with such a tag is included in one of his books.

    Are all of these paper tags fake? I have very much to learning more,if it so.

    So as a general rule of thumb for the RZM tags on armbands and other items; The "No" and the numbers need to fit between the horizontal lines on the bottom of the tag, else it's more likely a fake tag?

    Here is a side by side comparsion with a real tag. Once blown up you can find numerous different points. Size of the numbers, letterins, etc.

    Question I have is; Do people use the fake tags on real items to try and get a bigger price because it's uncommon to find them on them or (as I imagine is more common) do they use fake items with fake tags?

    Both. Bad items with good tags to obscure the bad item. Also good items with bad tags to inhance the price.

    I read somewhere that the B tags were often taken from tropical SS eagles as they were the cheapest source for genuine tags. Then used to enhance the value of reproduction insignia, A and B should only be seen on the most easily manufactured insignia. Never on hand embroidered items.

    I saw this tag on this SS armband up for sale, and based on the conversation here, it appears to be a fake tag from what I can discern with the positioning of the numbers in the lines, correct?

    The armband itself, based on other examples I've seem online, looks OK, but as it's a fairly simply design, probably wouldn't be that hard to spoof on a fake.
