So to amplify why I believe your tabs are bad:
- The silver piping is not pre-1945 - it is the common fake stuff seen on many types of insignia from the 1970's on. It's used on both your "L" tab and your wide tress tabs.
- Since the fake piping attachment method was applied to ALL your tabs, they appear to have been created all at the same time, by the same hand.
- Your "L" tab used post-war tress. So the piping and tress are not pre-1945.
- The cardboard backing used on your tabs is possible, but not typical. For instance, some Dachau-type SS tabs used a brown-tan backing, police tabs, ect. Odd it would be used on all yours, as they seemingly represent different organizations.
- the wide tress used on two of your sets is not like anything I've seen, but I obviously not seen it all. I'd recommend posting them in the political section just to close the loop, but I checked four organizational Angolia non-armed forces books and it looks like nothing listed.
I love obscure organizations, and hope I'm wrong. I wouldn't pitch these; they don't take up much space and may turn out to be good down the road. But my read at this stage: fakes.
