General Insignia (shoulderboards & collar tabs)

[Mannequin]

Hello,

I am interested to buy these. I asked seller if I can image the imagine the community of collectors, he agreed.

What do you think about? Is all okay?

Thanks and

BR

The shoulder boards are absolut correct. It's a very early pair but they are two of the left side, that will reduce the value.
The tabs are in my opinion okay but very poor quality. An hand on inspection will be the best to be 100% shure.
Depends all on the price the seller is asking.

Best,

The first set of tabs are not a perfect match, book look legitimate to me. I do like the shoulder boards - I love the early scalloped underlay.

Shoulder boards look good, but as mentioned earlier, they are both left sides. I am lukewarm on the 1st collar insignias. I don't have a good feeling about the last set of collar insignias/ tabs. I would wait for more input from some of the other more knowledgeable members. I have attached two photos from my collection of early general shoulder board and early collar insignia that you can compare. Actually relooking at the 1st set of collar insignias, I don't like them either. Poor detail and the two tone bullion and gold wire just don't blend together. I would pass on the collar insignias.

Tabs

Not a fan of either set of collar tabs....Boards look fine.

I think folks are being a bit over critical of the first set of tabs. They may not be Thiele & Steinert but I don't think there's any red flags. Rick

I also do not like the 1st pair , 2nd pair are cool. The boards are Reichswehr type.
I have a pair for sale in Estand. Complete Gen Lt type.

i do not like both of the collar tabs. Better to wait for another set. I like the boards however.
