QUESTION: pips on tabs

[all1knew]

Hello all,

I have brought several tabs to the attention of this forum. Some of the pips on a few rank tabs were thought to be East German, DDR. Now, can I ask where these pips come from, were they used by the DDR or are they simply reproductions from East Germany? Below is an image of a tab thought to have East German pips and the tab is a reproduction. Please let me know either way. Thanks.

Bill

William,
the east German pips are not reproductions just post-war pips used in the DDR, the tab you illustrate above does have east German pips on it.

cheers
