Waffen SS Rgt Westland original and copy
This is the comparision between the original one and a copy.
Someone tried to reproduce the exact font which is nearly close to Westland, but more closer to Estnische SS Frw Brig, font looks like 1941- 42 period, and seen in a different that period SS dogtags. Each of the matrix was a handmade, due of that all the different units made Id disks, has a minor differences in measurement, but the same by type. This one fake, has no W letter, due of the fakers hasnt it and make the "screwdriver type W" also the digits used on this tag looks similar to the 23 and 24 regiments Norge And Danmark style.
I own this fake from the mid 1990’s years and bought it as original. Most probably a Russian made fake
