here are a couple of photos of the 2 styles of this tab i have seen, my first impression on the tab above is it looks hand embroidered yet it has a machine embroidered positioning line on the back, what does it measure?

2nd type

approx. 55X38 and shows signs of being stitched to collar

I don't like it. For me the combination of hand embroidery with stitched cut lines on the reverse is very strange.

[Terry K.]

I'm sorry but the tab looks machine stitched to me.

Collar Tab

The embroidery of the Odal rune of the tab under discussion lacks the clarity and sharpness of detail of other Prinz Eugen tabs of the so-called Dachau manufacture. Compare this tab to the first one submitted for comparison by Gary Wood. The difference is readily apparent.

Comparison of the second tab submitted by Gary also reflects this detail, though the second example is older and has seen some use.

The embroidery thread used on the tab under discussion, and its peculiar pattern of application, has been seen on other reproduction tabs submitted for discussion; especially on the Sig runes.

Sincerely,

Charles Betz

I think the one discussed is a delta tab Regards Rich

If this is a "Delta" piece, it is 100% different from two pieces that all agreed were Delta's that I just sold as fakes on e-crap.
