Welcome.

Always hard to find out the truth about items you've purchased being bad.

Read through some threads and follow the advice from some seasoned vets and in no time you will have the basics down. But always post an item for opinions BEFORE you purchase it.

Any reputable dealers who only sell authentic, with possible certificate of authenticity?

I am looking to collect Insignias, my ultimate goal is to get my hands on an authentic collar tab of every rank before my heart gives you. But t seems so easy to find, yet so hard to find out if authentic. For example look at this picture.

For example

Now This is the one I found




Now with my eyes, this looks genuine compared to the fake. the part that stands out is he long tail feathers. But now I just don't know

You are talking about two different versions of SS eagles. The first two are referred to as Bevo eagles because of the company that produced them and the method.
The last one that you show is referred to as an embroidered SS sleeve eagle.
You will find many examples and lots of reading in this section, which is also where you should post the ones you are interested in.
