SS Officers Sword Knot for Leaders?

[jock auld]

Guys,

Had this looked over too by the local dealer as this is not normally something I would go for, he likes it which was a surprise.

The fact that the source will take it back was a major decider in swapping, not that it cost a lot in swaps as my old rig was free from The Queen!

Any opinions would be welcomed as with SS I am out of my depth.

Thanks

Jock

It looks good from the pics. Can you get a photo of the underside / bottom of the acorn?
Is there an RZM tag sewn into the end section of the ribbon area?
Best,

Wolfslair,

No tag and the bottom looks to have more of the hanger material?

Jock,
So far so good.
Does any part of the stitching glow under black light?
If it doesn't glow, then it's 100%

is the SS in the circle sharp detail?

Here's an early example to with which to compare.

the SS & circle is to sloppy for me

Guys,

Thanks for the thoughts, one for one against!
The dealer that I have shown has said he will buy it if it comes up, he sold his last one for €600 so he says?
I'm inclined to go with his judgement if he is willing to back it up with cash and he has been at it a while so he knows his stuff.

Thanks again guys.
