Bob, are you sure the runic tab is machine embroidered? The wire looks like classic SS silver wire used in hand embroidery.

The lore of the collecting world is that this wire was not suitable for one reason or another to be used in a machine, and that is why the Germans supposedly invented flat wire that could used for machine embroidery.

Your opinion?

Better photographs in natural light would help in my opinion. The threads seem to be the full width of the runes instead of the shorter threads we see on the late war machine-embroidered aluminium thread tabs.
