    Question about blank SS collar tabs - urgent help needed

    Hi

    I'd like to know what your feelings about these blank tabs are ???

    Size is aprox. 40 x 55 mm and the seller say that they are original. Seller however also say that they are WH tabs ???

    Personally I tend to say that they are original SS tabs, though.

    Thanks !!!

    The proportions are off for SS in my opinion.

      I measured my SS and my Nordland tab.

      The SS tab is 40 x 52 mm

      The Nordland tab is 40 x 56 mm

      But how about the back sides of the blank tabs ???

              The tabs are from a bigger tailor hoard. They are original WW2 era, but I would have a problem to call it "SS". There were found hundreds of tabs and boards, BUT they were all Luftwaffe insignia. And this black tabs are also LW insignia in my opinion. I know that you can find it in several forums and on ebay as "SS" tabs, but they were produced as enlisted LW tabs for RLM or construction troops.

              Just my two cents..

              All the best,
              Andreas

                These are original blank LW tabs, and the measurements are off for SS, as stated. I bought a good number of these along with the piped LW tabs sold from the last hoard, and they are too narrow to be SS or SD, IMO.

                regards, Robert

                      If these are indeed to narrow what's the correct size. I have a 2 blank tabs 39.53 X 51.59, and 37.63 X 52.09. I have 2 EM SS tabs 41.64 X 53.27, and 40.29 X 53.13 that can off tunics. All of these when posted over the years forums members gave the a

                          Hopefully this will help, although these pictures were taken at night. I selected average sized tabs as well as the narrowest tabs I have in my collection.

                          I have a also shown a standard-sized SD patch along side the type under discussion.
