Not a fan of the shape of the runes on this one, hope I'm wrong.
-
What other ways are there to identify an original tab like I said my grandfather and his other collecting friend said it looked good (not trying to denounce your opinion) is it common in this hobby for some people to tell you it’s good and others tell you not? I’m really looking for some help here and I will take all and any information that helps. I’m 15 years old and been in the hobby for a year. So I’m still a newbie.

Ok thanks John I really do appreciate it, like I said I’m 15 have to save most of the money I make for a car when I’m 16 so being able at add to my collection it something I truly do treasure it’s good news to here about the buckram backing so I guess there is a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks man really do appreciate from the bottom of my heart.

I agree with John, the runes simply aren't right. The silver cord material is also the usual 70's fake type.

Ok thanks guys just found this one on Tomas Whitman’s website that is very similar to mine any more thoughts.

Wittmann's example does have thicker runes, but compared to your tab, it is very different. Wittmann's example is more symmetrical and has the correct cord material. It is also thinner from the middle, from where the tips of the runes meet.

Thomas Wittmann is not the go to reference when it comes to collecting cloth insignia. As for his example I dont like it either. You are much better off looking at sites like Hannahs Reich when collecting SS memorabilia.

The opening post is a fake tab, they should be evenly spaced.
The bottom of the middle of the first ruin should line up with the top of the next.
