Fake SA tabs

[Hauptmann]

Hi all,

I decided to pop in this thread as well as one on fake NSDAP tabs as companion threads to the one Paul started on fake Luftwaffe tabs.

These are made in India and are a few years old. No telling if they've used the intervening time to get better or what.

SA Stabschef 1st Pattern (Ernst Rohm):

[attachmentid=53059]

[attachmentid=53060]

These are the ones that were based on Bolivian Generals collar tabs as Rohm had served there for a time between wars.

[Hauptmann]

SA Stabschef 2nd pattern (Victor Lutze):

[attachmentid=53061]

[attachmentid=53062]

[Hauptmann]

And a second set:

[attachmentid=53064]

[attachmentid=53065]

If anyone has more examples please post them so we can see if they've improved or not.

Thanks,

Dan

These are intended for the inexperienced and uninformed. Anyone who has studied 3rd Reich insignia would recognise the poor quality workmanship of these pieces. Very interesting to see what is out there.

Bob,

Agreed! I believe Clyde Davis included some similar fakes in his article about Stabshef tabs in the Military Advisor.
