Authentication requested, Wiking Cuff Title

[RyanFL309]

Hello all and thanks for the addition to this forum. I write this asking for assistance in authentication with this Waffen SS Wiking division cuff title. I took a risk on this one. The price was right. The dealer is reputable, honest and offered me a money back guarantee until this coming Thursday. This cuff title came out of an estate of a deceased paratrooper. The piece does not glow under a black light which I understand is not 100% authentication but I’ve been told it helps. I know also there are different patterns. Is this real or fake? Most importantly for someone new to insignia such as myself. Why?

Please if I am breaking any rules, the pictures don’t display properly, or posting in wrong section feel free to reprimand me. I am new to forums and while I looked at the rules I’m still learning. Many thanks!

It looks very similar to the Nederland BeVo type listed on AVK militaria. Maybe a later war piece?

Not my area, but in the meantime have a look at these from previous threads that are all good, there is a difference between the borders on the cuff titles I have posted and your item, I will let others conclude authenticity, G

Much appreciated. I noticed this as well.

The back looks very similar to the third fake example on Adrian Stevenson thread
"BeVo" SS cuff titles: how to spot original from fake", so believe is not good.
But rather wait for the opinion of other collectors.
I add the link.
