chance to buy collar tabs - help requested

[hopsi]

Dear all !
As I am still running after collar tabs, I would have the chance now to get some out of a friends collection. As he is a friend, he wanted to make sure that the CT`s are ok before he is ready to sell one pair to me. Therefore I ask you kindly to get me your assistance, for which pair I should go for
Many thanks in advance for your advises and expertise.
Best regards Stephan

any comments ??

My gut feeling says no. (Especially the first set)... Ive seen these a few times now: EM upgraded to officer's... everytime with the white stitching on the back... And every time unused... IMHO a tab upgraded to officer's should be used, tunic removed in most of the cases; not unused... (Else there was no point in upgrading an EM tabs to officers...)

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I would pass on both. The first set is a pattern I am quite sure has been discussed in treads here several times as these are "looking good" but are fake.

Do wait for some experst to comment, but I recomend that you do not by these.
