4 collar tabs for review

[Giel VW]

Hi guys

Bought a small collection here locally and checking out on the ss stuff now. These 4 collar tabs were in there.

Thanks

Could the ss off runic tab be Belgium made?

i don't think the officer is belgian made ;-) those have different type of wire around theme

The 22nd Maria Theresia looks like a copy. The TK might be good, but I think this is a Dachau type and the backing is not what is normally seen on these.
The machine embroidered runes tab might be ok, others will know for sure.
I dont know what to say about the bullion runes tab. The piping looks like the old 1970s style often seen on fakes.

Hi guys

These might help!

I do not know the MT. I like others except piping

[cbuehler]

The piping on the bullion tab is just not right for the period, at least to my understanding. On second thought regarding the embroidered runes tab, the thin border around the runes is very poorly done which makes them more questionable to me at least. It may have just been a bad day for the embroidery machine however, and they may be ok.

Hi Giel

I'm not keen on the officer tab.
I do like the em runic and tk tab for me I believe them to be original.
I do think the Maria Theresa is a delta reproduction with the stitch lines removed and original buckram added.
Cheers

Thanks for the opinions guys!

Is it possible the officer tab would be Belgian made? The guy who I got this from told me so too.

Tabs

I agree with D. Davies.

For what my opinion is worth, I do not believe the officer tab is Belgian, French or anything else besides a probable fake; or partial fake at best.

I concur with the below. Dave pretty much sums it up!
