Printed POA Collar Tabs

[RobertE]

Hello,

We have seen the printed foreign volunteer sleeve shields, but I have not seen these type POA collar insignia before. From the material and printing, these look like original insignia.

Note the bleed-through on the back, and base material which matches the sleeve shield stuff perfectly.

Has anyone ever seen this type insignia before?

regards, Robert

Not commenting on these,,,,,but I've seen them,,,and if you do some searching you'll find them in period photos in wear!

That's interesting you've seen photos of printed collar tabs such as these, and thanks for commenting.

The ROA-type collar-tabs...

Dear Robert,

I have seen these printed-examples before and they are IMO 100% genuine and period. They also existed in BeVo-woven format....

Thanks for posting, Coco - yours looks like an exact match for mine. You are right on the bevo, which I consider a little more common than the printed types. Here's a bevo pair.

I believe both types were issued and worn, though most of the examples found today are mutli-piece construction and sadly, quite modern.

Original tabs. There is footage / photos of such printed tabs in wear as well.

Hello gents,

I recently acquired these pieces. Happen to have any of the period pictures of these printed tabs in use that I can add to my library?


Very interesting pieces that I had no idea existed until today.

Thanks in advance

Matt

I have not found any period photos; finding good enough quality images of these tabs in wear to determine if they are printed or bevo may be a challenge.

Nice tabs, though - congratulations!

Love the Cossack tabs. Unfortunately I only have a single. Jim

Thanks guys I’m very happy with the ones I just purchased. On telling the difference between the printed and bevo tabs, I find that not to be the true issue as the circle is of different sizes with the bevo circle being smaller than the printed circle respectively, the issue is a clear picture that is definitely not a button on the collar.

Printed POA Collar Tabs

I was sent this picture by a good friend that clearly shows the bevo officers tab in wear. Also interesting the officers tab but em boards, something I didn’t expect to see.

Now just to try and find a definitive printed tab in wear......
