    Your right about that. But one negative point is a no go for me
    Interesting David. Where will we be in another 10- 20 years.

      Mmmm, not exactly the book to be quoting from for TK tabs though is it. At least 2 of those photographed there are said to be fakes.

      I no longer have my copy so can't elaborate.

        Original, but not a nice quality. The tab itself not a hard worn example, and some of the missed bullion areas is due the bullion in low quality and low quality handwork, these damage has been made during the embroiderer work. Hard worn example in any way will damage the paper tag, due the weather and wear, when the collar is bent. The changed F standard to E, mean the lower level of quality than a prewar examples and less time spent

          Seems my effort to reference a "period photo" in the Beaver Bando book was misunderstood, see page; 54. I looked through the book for "said" fakes. Not finding them. Ian, can you recommend a better reference source for "everyone in agreement", original skull tabs? Sorry to hear you no longer have a copy of the book.

            Please don't be sorry. I sold it as I personally found it to be a disappointment.

              E to F, lower quality ....come on
              It's not worth to show one looker E skull tab with such made comments. So many skulls tabs get excuses lately on WAF.

It's almost as though the tag is actually sandwiched in a "no touch zone" if you will. Silly me. Cheers mate.

                I don't agree. Any tunic actually worn during the war and that saw the elements like as rain and such would not have a perfect paper tag. Just because the tab was stitched on does not mean the reverse went into an airtight seal.
                Looking for a 30 '06 Chauchat magazine.

                  Tabs

                  1. The piping on the unit tab looks like it was sewn on by someone who hadn't done it before.
                  2. Rank tab was machine-sewn to tunic, but the other one - doesn't look that way...hard to tell.
                  3. IMO, there's a good chance these 2 tabs never appeared on the same tunic together.
                  4. Pristine RZM tag does not match wear on the skull, IMO, whether it was underneath or not.

                    I don't like the TK tab. To me the flatwire looks off, the teeth look like a mummy, piping and stitching look all wrong. It all adds up to "bad" for me. Just my opinion.
