Hi,

what are your opinions on this tab?
Thanks in advance.

This is another one of those tabs that really don't do it for me ...
A few people believe these are okay but I don't ...
It's not for me sorry ...
Regards David

Once again compare it to the ones I have enclosed
that I believe are original

[jmb]

I share your feeling but my knowledge in this field is limited.
When comparing this one with the tabs you have posted and with other original tabs, I notice a difference in the waving of the thread.
On originals, parallel lines of long thread going from one side of the rune to the opposite.
On this one, the lines seem to be 'interwoven' (if you understand what I mean).
Is that characteristic found on original tabs?

Good morning JMB ....

I can understand your concerns
I don't think they are interwoven it just looks that way as this is a close shot.
I will take a couple of shots for you today and post them later
But I personally believe this is one of those tabs that are doing a good job of
convincing people they are real but they still

Hi JMB
I think i'm in agreement with David,I like the buckram backing but not overly keen on the runes,I wish i could be more helpful.
Cheers
Dave.

You know what I think might be going on here Dave ?
Someone is churning out these runic tabs and popping in a piece of buckram from a Luftwaffe tab of something ..... To give them this authentic look
It's been done before

A very likely possibility. Compared to the tabs that David posted here for comparison there are details in the stitching that are rather jarring. Replacing the buckram from a lesser tab is devious but then so is making fake tabs to sell to the unwary. A fake like this is absolutely meant to deceive.

Exactly Eric .... It's not new
Especially as the cost between Luftwaffe and SS cloth is miles apart
