I think these are post Spanish Civil war. These look like WW2 Rombos.

Could you please tell me more?

I just picked out a pair of 8 different types from Large boxes of them (MANY MANY).

SO these were ww2-used then?

Is there any way to tell age based on more specifics:
all sewn v. brass brad type attachments, etc?

Thanks!

Yes, they were sewn. Very few were stamp into the tunic. Even during the late 1970s when the franco era was comming to a end. They were still sewn into the uniform but by the 1970s they were platic. The cloth ones were use from 1944 uptill about the mid 1950s but I could wrong on that one. They started using the metal ones during the mid 1950s up till 1970s when they were using platic by then. Now, those are pretty common ones but the airforce ones would come in different colors and have enamel on them and those are worth alot more. Anything else you want to know?

Thanks!

Would it be more accurate to say these were consistent with ww2 wear, or throughout the Franco period?

Is there any way to differentiate between earlier tabs and later?

I did notice plastic ones and all cloth ones and cloth with metal rear attachments as 3 different styles.
