SS Bandmaster Raute.

[johanis1860]

Hello.
I have added in my collection this SS Bandmaster Raute.
The black fabric is similar to the one from the Dachau depot.
Since I found an search in the net and in the forum only one piece at German Daggers
for comparison.
So ask for the help of the forum.
Every opinon is welcome.
Thanks.
Regards, Jannis.

I have to say I'm not a huge fan of this one- the backing material seems "off" to me...

Hello Arran.
First, thank you for your comment-opinion
I borrowed from German Daggers.com three pictures.
In the two photos the backing material seems like mine.
The third photo is the SS Bandmaster Raute and she looks very much like mine.
On this basis I believed it was genuine.
Maybe at the German Daggers.com the photos show not only original ones.
I did not find material-photos anywhere else.
Thanks, again, jannis.

I don't think It's a good one, the backing like said above is not like any I know (studied) and bullion is too thick. I had those kinds of diamonds, they feel very thick in hand. Is that the case with yours? It's usually a bad sign too.

It is very different in design then an example shown a FB thread showing Rautes.

Hello.
Thanks for your comment Sid.
Yes, it is thicker and stiffer than a collar tab.
Lessons Learned.
