Collar Tabs

So wrong in so many ways.

Is it all fantasy, or was there some insignia similiar to this with the metal cornflower?

[C. Betz]

Is It Fantasy?

No, it's just bad. The piping on the tabs is wrong. The litzen is wrong. Some Latvian units and Estonian units had metal insignia but not Maria Theresia. And why put the number 22 on the tab? Bogus all the way. The corn flower/numerals look like they were done in a metal shop class in junior high.

I'm sure the bidder will be in for a rude awakining when he tries to sell this set.

Also, the seller has a bunch of other junk for sale. Some of his items have been put up for discussion here before.

That particular seller..."DouchePanzer" seems to sit around all day dreaming up new fake tab designs. That guy has made up more fantasy tabs than the Germans ever created originally. He is a real piece of work, and yet he has sold hundreds...and still lives to tell the tale.
