Opinions on LW Field Division Tabs???

[airborne_steve]

Hi guys,

I have been in the market for LW, EM, field division tabs (and HG, EM tabs) for a while now. I found the below pair and would like you opinions before I buy. Please feel free to make your opinions known.

Thank you.

Well, here's what I see. First, probably not an original pair. One tab is taller than the other and the color of the thread from sewing it on is a slightly different color, as is the sewing style (tab on viewer's left is double stitched on two sides). Also, the prongs of the metal wings appear to be made from different metals - and both have probably been on more than one tab, based on the multiple bends to the prongs. (The fronts of the wings also look different, but that could just be the photo.) The materials and construction look okay to me. My best guess - very possibly originals but married up after 1945.

Thanks Dave for the feedback. They look OK to me but I didnt' notice that one was bigger?
