RAF635SQ Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I had EXACTLY the same pin on a WW1 style Iron Cross, it turned out to be fake... not to up on things like this so i am not 100% sure, but i don't like the look of the SS runes on these kind of things now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bridger Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Got to agree with RAF the runes do not look good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leon21 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 What do you make of these runes Guys...................Are they good or bad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF635SQ Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Also possibly fake, SS runes are something to avoid 9 times out of 10, i personally don't like this. Might be wrong as i am no buckle expert but I personally will avoid anything like this with runes. It is a 1940 buckle of which are heavily faked with the double circle SS runes. Also the RZM logo looks disgustingly uneven. Could be wrong though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 You are doing okay so far guys..................Last one for your opinions..............When ever I go to millitary fairs or antique centres I always take my digital camera and anything that I like, I will take a photo of for future reference I have two photo files one for fake marks the other for original marks to help sort the fakes from the real, it's something I would recomend to any new collector to do to help from getting burned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 SS Buckles, like all SS items are a nightmare, the first is meant to be an Assman the second 882/38 is also very close to the original however both these buckles are heavily faked and I agree with RAF the maker stamps just don't look quite right although they are very close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 SS runes should not be on the back of a police eagle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Anything with "SS" on it, immediately makes me suspicious. Today it seems that almost everything SS is fake, as most of it was destroyed after the war, or hidden away for fear of war crimes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Most veterans of the Waffen-SS had a hard time for the rest of their lives, the last survivors are still being hounded down and dragged off to court, and contrary to Wehrmachts soldiers, they got no pension or any form of compensation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
