Single Collar Tab

[Rick C]

While I own a couple of SS collar tabs, I'm by no means a serious collector of SS stuff so you'll need guidance from someone else. That said, if the tab's real, piping (straight thin aluminum) is only a few bucks. I'm guessing the type it's sporting now would be harder to find but then...

There's no difference in fixing this tab than there is restoring a visor cap or restoring a tunic that's had it's bird removed for political correctness post war. The Germans, in the day, repaired uniforms, etc. ALL the time.

I think the tab is wartime judging from the pips, so it doesn't need piping at all!

I would stay away from this rank tab completely.
