First of all I am not assuming anything. Assuming (Assume = Ass - u - me) anything has a tendancy to come back and bite a person in the rear..... The reason for this thread is that I was not convinced that the tabs shown were correct!
I am starting to lean in favor that they are, however I would like to see more definitive proof that they were authorised tabs. A photo in wear would be awesome. After all we require absolute proof for all other asspects of this hobby!
Diane Schriber feels that they are authentic but unauthorized, and were worn by the senior Official in the OKH.
The construction of the tabs looks consistent with period pieces, however they are the only pair ever seen to my knowledge, and there is no mention (at least not found to date) of them in any of the accepted reference works available to date.
My intent is to troll thru my period publications - Allgemeine Heeresmitteilungen 1934 -1945, Heeres-Verordnungsbaltt's 1934 -1945, Sammlung von Heersverwaltungs-Verfugungen,, and the Uniform-Markt periodicals 1934 -1945, I have also been reaserching all reference to the general staff and the HV in the volumnes of "Die Wehrmacht im Dritten Reich".
I am coming to the end of a 14 day hitch at work and will be off next week. I am not the best at German and Fraktur is even harder for me to read, being tierd after 12 hour shifts does not help any either.....
Many thanks for your help Kapitein
