Not a fan of the piping

You're not the world's best photographer, are you ?
having said that I like what I can see. . . unusual to see a Bevo type buckram backing used on your rank tab

Difficult to tell much from these pictures, but I seriously doubt these two tabs have been stitched together as a pair since WWII. Both tabs are probably original, but the runes do not look like pre war workmanship to me. I suspect they were re piped and stitched together to increase selling price.

Just my opinion.

They look like very nice late war tabs to me, and a pair. Nice to see the Dachau-type white backing on the rank side. Both are stitched to the buckram using the same style stitching as the late woven officers tabs, and have the same type piping.

I agree . . Thumbs up

This is the tab and stitching I am referring to - this example has the thread conveniently contrasting, but it is often also very dark and hard to see except in hand.
