not sure, chris. but i took them to a local show about 6 years ago and a guy that collects this type of thing took a big sniff at them and then starting hollering across the room at his buddies. causing quite a fuss. he wanted to buy them from me right away. if i remember correctly he said they are a type that was only used for a brief period.

hopefully someone can further elaborate?

in any case, not my area of interest..just something i've had since i was a teenager

The sculls are Panzertruppe - not SS - The tabs are not Panzer (not sure what they are)

That outer piping is not the type I have ever seen on any TR item... I hope that I am wrong.

Good eyes there Paul. These are fakes. With the piping I would say that somebody was trying to pass them off as SS-Totenkopf collar tabs. If they were trying to impersonate Army panzer collar tabs they would have pink piping, not this.

I bought a pair of these many years ago (20?)

I could never convince myself that they were real and so finally disposed of them.

I can't remember what the braid was like, but the rear view matches exactly.(Metal and cloth)

The shape of the patches was the same as luftwaffe ones.

Which was what I thought I was buying i.e. H.G. Div.(Still not sure about them, as odd things keep cropping up)
