Sorry it's garbage!...

Polish market was full of fakes that were exported or sold to tourists.

Oh absolutely, I've read quite a bit on that, which is why I stay away from general for sale postings on Allegro (local auction site) and the like, and prefer to stick to antique shops who specialise in militaria. Though I am a local here And also why I went to someone who is locally recognised as someone who has a lot of knowledge on the subject.
Live and learn I guess!

Indeed, a fantasy item typical of the Polish market.

All of these items are incredibly absurd fantasy pieces (they don't even deserve to be called fakes) that don't resemble any genuine SS ID document that ever existed.
The overkill of Nazi symbols and terms is as silly as the countless spelling errors.
Clearly, these things are cobbled together by fakers who don't speak a word of German and who couldn't be bothered to undertake even the most minimal research.
Incidentally, in the case of the piece in the first post, the misspellings start with Reichssicherheitshauptamt, which is missing a "t" and don't get better afterwards. (Love the phonetically-spelled "Schturmführer".) The photo of Joachim Peiper is another amusing aspect.
