@ Paul & Ruben:

You both can just load up Your pics with imageshack and copy and past the "hotlink for forums" line in Your posts ...

Never did it another way even if I am an Assoc member ... I just found it better to post more than one pic in one post and to decide free over the dimensions.

Here we go!! Admin NCO(Early-Pre War).

I'm not making a call on the boards, I just want to point out that there is a seam meandering around under the zig zag stitching on both boards. It does look like two pieces of wool are joined together by the stitching.

Hi Ruben,

The color is very different.

ATC is a light green(almost yellow-green)
Field Division is grass green(like Heer Jager troops)
Admin is a deep pine green color

The boards that started the thread are reproductions. The ones by Alexandre are textbook boards.
I consider ATC tabs to be this lighter green as seen in the top left tabs of this photo, but can never be 100% sure. As I have never seen a luft board piped in this color to match...so who knows for sure...
As one can see there are a lot of different shades for FD. So maybe some could be admin as well...

[PaulR]

That is one awesome tab collection jerry. None of them are Admin. The color for Admin is more of a pine hue. Those are all shades of grass green(except for the ATC).

[RamJet]

Just great, Jerry!

Could You show us the back sides of the tabs as well?

[RamJet]

Edwin, did You return the boards? They are at Ebay again.

[airborne_steve]

FD and Admin both were a dark green. ATC was almost a grass green or at least lighter shade of green.

Here I have posted a picture of a FD/ADMIN tunic and visor with a ATC overseas hat. You can see the slight shade contrast between the dark green FD and the lighter ATC green piping of the overseas hat.
