Chaplain collar tabs

Hi guys

I read in an older thread that these tabs were not accepted by everyone. Is there anno 2016 a definite conclusion/proof on these already?

Thanks

I would say the quality of the embroidery is much less than what I would expect - crooked arms, etc. I don't think they are Heer, either.

Not sure about originality but they are Navy-KM.

Though kind of small, here is Chris Liontas's collection of Thiele and Steinert KM tabs......

I enlarged the pertinent ones, and although a little fuzzy it shows the detail a little better.

Thanks for the replies guys.

The pictures of the "musters" is very interesting. While the cross looks very identical, the oak leaves for sure show a lot of differences. Any reverse pictures of these tabs too?

I have not seen any Giel. I do believe Chris Liontas is a member here.......



Cheers

I am not convinced. The crosses are not symmetrical and the embroidery is sloppy
and below par...Don't compare with Steinert Hausmuster!
My brother has the exact same set...I believe these are copies that are circulating...
Hope I am wrong! That's my gut instinct...Sorry!

Hello,

here is my example, quite different execution than the sample opened the thread.
