Hello,
Cloth is not my strongpoint, so I would appreciate your help in determing the authenticity of these shoulder boards, tabs and rank insignia. These came from an estate that had a lot of repros in it. Unfortunately I don't have a blacklight to check the fiber content, but hopefully the experts here can tell me if they are original or not.
Thank you,
Dale
First up is a pair of flight collar tabs. They are still sewn together and appear to be a bit larger than most I have seen - perhaps for an overcoat? They measure approximately 62 mm on the long edge and 50mm on the short edge.
