IMO I don't like them. Crude, and yet sophisticated embroidery. The Estonians did make some of their own tabs, but the devices were usually done out of metal. But not the usually seen "delta" fakes of the 1970s.

I'm not sure they are fakes. they had a large group of variations. I thought 2 german made, rest ones they made. I agree , most of them that they made were metal devices. jeff

No, I dont have a story with them, I have owned them for a long time. The interesting thing is the thread that attached them to a collar is still there. Or it is a well thought out copy. I think they have a chance of being real. I liked the stitching.It is well done and intricate. Thanks for your comments. Im not going to give up on them yet. Bill

I wouldn't throw them in the fake box, items like this just take more homework. Looking at them there are some things I do like about them. You may want want to try posting them on the WAF, where some of the big SS guys like Hritz, Hassler, and others have migrated.

sure hold on to them,,,but even though an unofficial pattern and there were variants,,these just don't have the quality, and embroidery too shallow.. When you see the authetic pieces the work is tight, and higher..
