SS totenkopf officers collar tab

[Dimas]

Hi guys!
I'am just bought this one and waiting it to inspect in my hands. It's moleskin tunic removed tab from veterans hand form States. You opinion?

Hi Dimas,

I don't like it sorry. The embroidery is really sloppy and not like the quality sewing I would expect on an officers bullion tab.

The black thread on the teeth is vast overkill as well in my opinion.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Dimas, sorry I must agree with Tony on this for the same reasons.

Cheers, Ade.

This is more like what I would expect

[Dimas]

Tony, your is very nice. But about my is a bad news

[tonys]

Hi Dimas,

I don't own the one I posted (it is for sale though for $3650.00)

I see you or someone else posted your one on the WAF and nobody liked it there either.

Did it come from Espenlaub Militaria? Is that you?

Here's another............

Hello Dimas,

I have never seen a fake made as yours. It certainly is not the standard RZM type of officer collar tab. Of course, collar tabs were produced all over the Continent, so there is a possibility that it is original. However, it will always be a very hard item to defend when it does not conform to the usually found insignia.

Here is a standard RZM example, still on the uniform.

No problems guys, as had it inspection for two days I can say that this was not a good quality embroidery, but I send it back with refund, because I'am looking for textbook examples. I 've seen one original early ex-numbered vertical, but the price was a bit high and that is not what I'am looking for

hi there Dimas

here's another collar tab with a similar quality of embroidery, i got this in a Lot sale (with some original medals) a few years back... as Bob said , collar tabs were made all over the Continent,.... and some were tailor-made items (not RZM made). But yes these types of tabs are very hard to defend !!! which makes me very unsure of mine too.
