woodeye Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 good question, where from they come then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 i purchased them locally at an antique shop a few years ago along with a geschwader general wever cuff title for the equivalent price of two movie tickets.no idea if they are good or not; that's why i posted them. i'm fairly certain that the cuff title is good, tho.please take into account that this kind of stuff is not really my focus..

Paul R Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hello,It is my opinion based upon these images that the tabs are not original. The badge material(white cloth) is much coarser than I am used to seeing. Also, the buckram type is used on many reproductions seen on Ebay. Shoot Robin Lubstein a PM to get his take on the skulls. The patina looks strange on them to me.I have an open mind, but I have serious doubts on these. Does anyone else have a take on them?RegardsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 well, it's ok to have an open mind, but i'm afraid that in this case i'd prefer to rely upon YOUR experience. no need for me to bug r.l., he can add his opinion if he sees this thread. and anyone else as well, for that matter!thanks very much for taking the time to asess these; i thought they were kinda 'furry'! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodeye Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Would connect me to the opinion of Paul, also I do not like the Litzen. Although also in the literature which are shown as an original. To the skulls I can say that there also were here some man's plates which were produced in different executions, here, unfortunately, I know only the aluminium and zinc variations, but there probably was also which in non-ferrous metal which became then versibert. Remove, nevertheless, sometimes a skulls and look sometimes the back? Show, nevertheless, sometimes a few pictures of the sleeve tape, has shown itself two sleeve tapes which I have got recently.regards woodeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
