    I personally don't like them but I am not an expert.

    I was thinking the same thing because the font is the same on all of them......

    The pictures are far from ideal- they're taken at an angle, are small, not very well-lit, etc. The Prinz-Eugen looks fine, but it's in rough shape. The Zeesen are odd in that they look pretty close to known examples, but they're not quite the same- in particular the 'a' in 'Waffen' clearly is narrower; this doesn't make any sense since it's a single large stamp, and the serial numbers aren't too different, so it's unlikley they had to get a whole new one for some reason. The numbers are completely different in style and are more like the simple ones fakers use- so they seem pretty dodgy to me. I'm wary of the SS-Totenkopf ones- something about them doesn't sit right; the numbers are again the simple form reminiscent of typical faker's types, but it's hard to say anything for sure again because the pictures aren't so good for fine judgement. The only one I'd have felt comfortable buying is the Prinz-Eugen, but it shouldn't be worth all that much being a very badly damaged half.
    Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

    Actually $75 for an original SS Erkennungsmarke is a very decent price.
