opinions on rank tab & sleeve eagle

[billmunny]

Hello friends!

I'm pretty sure the sleeve eagle is a fake but what are thoughts on this rank tab?

The buckram, pips, and black badge cloth look good, but the tress raises questions--perhaps an original tab that was collector-"enhanced/upgraded/messed-with"?

The shoulderboards are likely bad but I'm wondering may be Heer arty with black underlays tacked-on..and they have plastic inserts--all bad?

These pieces came off a restored tunic that was original but the insignia is a mixed-bag of original and fakes...

Hello Suhail,
The rank tab looks good. Can't say on the others.

The shoulder boards are heer artillery with black base material added, at a later time.

Agree with the black base material, but the color is panzer pink for me.

Rank tab looking super
Boards are harder to judge... Did you say plastic inserts? can you verity? (if yes they are bad)

And the bullion sleeve eagle would not fit into my collection. Not for me... Lacks details of an original

That may not be plastic it looks like the black fiber used in some boards..I like the eagle on its face but it needs to be checked for an unterlagen.
