I'am not comfortable with this tab, strange cloth and not correct buckram, also the shape and quality of the tab itself

The runes are well done imo but the back tells everything like said above. The "fleece-like" cloth and the buckram are off.
The fakers are slowly perfecting their art. Another example that did not pass the test of this forum.

The cloth used by RZM standarts for producing that tabs are normally Besatztuch, felt and NSDAP Spiegeltuch seen on such examples. The collar tab assembled using glued canvas buckram and steam press. not glued ends on the Tuch examples fastened with thread, felt can be fastened using glue. Piping by non RZM standard can be applied by wife or grandmother of the bearer, as normally all the tabs has been sold without it. Normally the piping added by skilled tailor, due all of the servicemen ordered uniforms from private tailors, or even tailors who had contract with local unit for any kind of work with cloth.
The runes on the shown tab had strange angle to me, and I never seen such. Also number 3 looks thinner IMHO. The quality of the embroidery is a really not a piece time quality. The war time examples can be worst in quality due of quantity of SS Fuehrers and highest NSO's grow and Waffen SS needs a hudge quantity of such tabs. All of them has been made very quickly, and sometimes by not such a skilled embroiderers.
