Small grouping of Medical/TSD? insignia

[FranzJoseph]

Hi all,

Got this selection of insignia (tabs, boards, buttons) from a seller who implied they belonged together. I think the boards are Medical waffenfarbe but I'm not sure about the tabs - perhaps TSD? The blue looks like one in between med+TSD. Are the one-braided tabs late war? Has anyone heard of Medics perhaps wearing TSD blue tabs (someone told me this might be a possibility).

Also, how do the buttons look? They all seem period to me except the darker non-silver ones which have a '21mm' size mark on them. I'm not sure if wartime buttons ever had size marks? Maybe early Bundeswehr?

How does everything look? Thanks in advance!

The color of the collar tabs is closer to TSD but may have faded. You can take a pin and gently lift up the braid to see is it has faded on the front or if it was colored from white. The buttons to me look like period buttons I have but the ones made after the War were essentially identical. Perhaps someone else will know for sure.

..agree..

Thanks for the responses! Johnny - no evidence of them being coloured in at all.

So most likely TSD and a collector or dealer after the war etc. may have put them together not knowing the difference etc.
