Here is her email response to my questions. Paul, thanks for your kindy eMail. I've been dealing with hand-embroidered articles since 1989. Therefore I know that the quality has to be excellent. I've been working with several companies in South East Asia. All my collar tabs are done according to my sketches which I have taken - being German - either from originals which I found or bought in the internet or from original sketches. Mostly all of our collar tabs (specially German Luftwaffe) have got the buckram backing. But there are still some collar tabs around which have a different backing. But all new productions will surely be with buckram at the back. Brigit Here are a couple of additional examples. Please Bear in mind that she has tabs from many other branches of the TR as well(SS, DLV, SHD, and ect), including some really obsure units. Again, she is selling them as repro, yet my concern is the person who buys them from her. Regards Paul
