Not an easy call based on just photos, red wool, circle, black stripes, and swastika are not bad looking, rzm tag also looks good but the fakes are excellent. Needs to be blacklisted and wait for other opinions.... But stands a chance.

NO, not anymore, just offered my opinion. I see the back seams with the double threads and the black ribbon *ends* folded over as identical as to Reddicks, as for the Warrelics thumbs up,I will stick by my opinion above, on WAF, bahahaha, offer to sell it for a really low price,like $200.00 and see what happens to those same peeps who *liked it*... How much did you pay for this, be honest..

On furthur review, cancel out my previous rants....... I now say it might just be original due to an enlargement I performed.

http://www.reddickmilitaria.com/nazi-ar ... ool/#tab-1 the pic does not do this repro justice,Reddick at one time had 2 versions, one with the unfinished back seams,and one with the bdouble seamed-sewned as this one.they even had the black left over ribbon folded over as yours.what really gives these away is the white rondel material, on repros they are a heavier, courser material, on all originals of SS- NSDAP ones the rondel material is fine, supple, soft made out of a thinner silk type material.

Thank you. Reason I asked was,, if the price was way too low as what the actual worth, that would be a red flag,you know what I was getting at.
