    Hello,

    I agree with Askold on these- Why are the lances embroidered all the way through the wool? Usually a tab would be done on cloth, then wrapped around some carboard for backing and only then applied to the wool as a tab. The construction makes no sense to me.

      But most if not all of the Cossak embroidered tabs coming from well known sources
      are constructed like that ?
      I have a pair coming directly from the french resistance which fought against them
      and they are built like these,only with a bright silver tresse instead of a grey one !

        Interesting discussion. I don't see anything wrong with embroidering through the facing material and the backing material. Some tabs, such as SCHUMA collar tabs, went through the backing as well.

        The cottage industry manufacturing nature of these embroidered tabs would lead me to the cautious opinion that they vary wildly in terms of material and construction. I do think these stand a very good chance of being original, but that is just my opinion.

          My little contribution ...
          Vet' certified origin , the single one was taken on a POW in the
          north east of France 1944 .
          The pair in the same area in a deserted destroyed convoy ...
          Embroidered versions for both,exactly the same red cotton cloth , clearly machine made but not that industrially wise .

            Nick, top notch contribution. Thanks for posting them - they are definitely embroidered after the tab itself was constructed.

            regards, Robert

              I was at Bob Hritzs house a few weeks ago and checked his pair with the silver tress. They are identical in construction to Nicks. Jim
