Looking at the link it has several different styles of the same patch?
So more than one type exists already? One of more looks similar too.

The first one (also re-posted above) is a Reichsführer SS collar patch, of which yours is a repro.
The other ones with the "three oakleaves in a laurel wreath" design are for the Reichsjugendführer (gold/black) and the Stabschef of the SA (gold/red), respectively. They are not directly relevant here, but indirectly as examples for the quality of period hand embroidery.
Thank you. Would the tabs from his great coat be the same and as detailed?
I imagine this item was made in Pakistan or in the legion not very good embroiderers across the face of the globe that try to fill the needs
of the novice collector. We have lots of and lots of senior leader embroidery, and your piece does not at all resemble the authentic item,
which is very striking in its worksmanship. And these items were costly at the time, and they are costly today when well made.
We have hundreds and hundreds of images of authentic items, thousands, actually. You can deepen yourself in them, and, of course,
the key is to see them in real life.
