TK Tab opinions please

I've been through a few pages of pictures and can't make a positive authentication. The design looks real close to the Dachau pattern, but I'm not 100% sure. Request to know if this is a good TK tab. Thanks for your time.

It is a Delta repro with added fake piping.

Dear Felix,
what are the characteristics of the Delta reproduced TK tabs?

[coorsontap]

Thanks for the quick reply. On a good note it can be returned. Thanks again!

Dear Felix,

Hello!

What to look for is the coarser "small knots or square" weave of the black base cloth. That pattern should be the cause of instant RED warning flags risen in your mind. That goes for other delta tabs as well. Other details of the delta TK are the poor teeth. Also notice the placement of the stitch line and the buckram and that goes for other delta tabs as well.

Check this out as comparison:

It's that dadgum "Hillbilly TK" again, I can't believe granny is still turing those out!

It's not that bad for a copy.

Felix, thank you.
I understand that Delta was at its heyday during the 70s. whatever happened to them?

as for the 'coarser' weaving you mentioned, is it due to the 'resolution' or tightness of the sewing or because of the material itself?
