    More help - metal regimental numbers on tab

    Talk about needy! I've never seen metal numbers on these early tabs, and wonder if anyone else have any they feel are original. I'd appreciate opinions - thanks!

    The metal prongs are hidden under the material flaps; not much to see here -

        Is this sleeve eagle another fake?

        No great story; got this is a group deal from a German who claimed it was real. Strange bird if it is - like my boss, it's very tightly woven! Can someone tell me if this is another breed of fake?

          I would really like to know if any long-time collar tab collectors have seen these metal devices on non-elongated tabs. I got it this way many years ago, and the tab is good - but why the metal number instead of embroidery? Does anyone have any photo's of this being worn in actual period photos? This is mystery that I have been trying to solve for 25 years - thanks.

              below is somewhat of a comparison in how your tab looks compared with another, although your examples looks well executed the angles are way off
              cheers,

                Thanks Gary,
                The tab you've shown is pretty close to the one I posted yesterday (same outfit too!); roger that on the difference in angles. The providence on the tab is pretty good, however - I never questioned whether the tab itself was real, just the number. A collector had it between the vet and I, and I was curious as to whether he'd messed with it, as the veteran didn't remember anything but the runes and the number of pieces in the group. I appreciate your read on this item.
