TK collar tab... ?
Dear colleagues
I need your opinion about this tab TK please for a frend.
In my opinion a bad one but... I'm Learning every day
So please let's know your thoughts about it please.
Thank you very much.
A Happy New Year to all and stay healthy !
Regards
PB.
PS. : sorry for the bad pics...
I forwarded your question to David Delich.
My own reaction, and it is very imperfect, would be thumbs down.
Your images are not very good.
Each one is an unikat, of course, but there are several things I do not like here. (not my enclosures, which are the property of M16fan)
But I do not collect this kind of thing.
As ever, these poor images are also a self licking ice cream cone.
The way to know is to examine these things in hand......
Happy new year.
The member M16fan is going to sell a lot of very real SS collar patches to the Gold Club members presently, so all those hungering for such items would
best direct their energies to membership there and look for these items.
The hum drum fake "dead head" collar patch is almost as mind numbing as the "dead head" cap badge.

Don't you wish you had built this collection? That you were at the right place and the right time? It is not mine. It is now dispersed.
The Beaver Bando book is the thing to have in a case like this. And it exists in a French edition.
Wow, I've never seen the tab before with the backwards runes.by Friedrich-Berthold
The extraordinary is the normal here, dear colleague. We work very hard to make it that way.
It may also be that said item is upside down, but I do not know. These items were all dispatched.
The runics on both patches was a feature of the summer of 1940, I think, which is well interpreted in the Mollo book. Vol. III.
Thank you Friedrich,
let's read the opinion of Mr Delich soon.
Will try To obtain better pics...
Thanks again
P.
No, actually, as the patch (runes and direction of the sloping) would look the same when viewed upside down. It really is the left-hand, mirror image runic collar patch, which is an extremely rare thing: "Normal" SS runes worn on both collar patches as ordered during that brief period in 1940 are sometimes seen in period photographs (although not nearly as frequently as the double "Death's Head" collar patches), but I think I have only ever seen one or at most two photographs of these odd mirror-image runes in wear.
Also of note in the above photo is the "ET" collar patch for the Schalburg Corps' intelligence service.
