Tabs

Mark,
IMO the tabs posted are not original. The sleeve eagle looks OK, but hand embroidered sleeve eagles are getting harder to tell and I always prefer a hands on inspection when these are concerned...Best, John

Thank you for your answer John, I appreciate.

Do every-one agree on this??
The seller (member of this forum) affirmed me that one of the moderators on the forum told him they where original??!! I traded these on that base!!<o></o>

The Eagle is also a fake that emerged in hoards in the 1980s through an American dealer.It is the rounded wing with eyebrow and can be found with white stampings on the paper backing.They made several size versions of it including a huge "cape" eagle size.
