Political leaders tabs and armband

[Todd Gylsen]

Are these tabs and armband good or bad? Keep 'em or toss 'em?

We'll start with the collar tabs. Here is the front of the tabs. The eagles are both gold in color. The bright sunshine makes the eagle look silver.

Here is the reverse of the tabs. The sunshine makes the attachments look silver when the really asre bronze in color.

Does anyone have any opinions on these tabs and armband? Are they good or bad?

Todd, don't know if I'll be much help but here it goes. The tabs seem to be OK with only a couple of things that come to attention. The tab on the right may have a replaced eagle. Notice how the pins come to a point with an angle from both sides (like an arrow point). The other prongs all have the angle that terminates in a point coming from one side rather than both. The stitching for the piping looks very sloppy but I don't know if this would condemn it. Here is the reverse of a tab that I have for comparison.

The collar tabs are Abschnittsleiter (Section Leader) and the armband for a leader of a department (Leiter Einer Amtes). The oakleaves should be 16mm wide.

They both look good and the way they should be. Very nice examples I would say.
