Waffen-SS officers collar tab - genuine?

[SweCollector]

Hello gentlemen.

May I ask for your opinions regarding the autenticity of this Waffen-SS officers collar tab? From the little I know they look ok, but better safe than sorry...

Thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't like this one. The runes are sloppy and not uniform. There is an excess of fabric on the back and the type of buckram gives me some pause also. The way the piping is secured on the back is interesting to note - usually we see them braided and then secured rather than laid flat like this.

Interesting. Thanks for your reply! I might have to let this one go then...

Very strange tab re: rune shape and spacing. I'd pass...

[Vidal]

Not original imo.

They have a lot of backing material which is a bad sign, and the spacing of the runes looks very poor.
