A very nice example.

Hi John, miss-militaria is the seller... for now.

Thanks for the kind words... I did find an awesome source. Regards Paul

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

The backs all look like this...

[Here is a very good set of Engineer Tabs. Very convincing to the newer collector, IMHO.

Here is another Admin tab. This one is for the Luft Fire Service. This one is a bit more convincing.

I have been in contact with a lady who is having Repro insignia custom made and selling them on Ebay. She seems to be a very nice lady, who answered all of my questions in a through and kind manner. First, I will show you some pics that some of you might have seen around. Here are some Admin, highest level. These are not hard to decern as repros, yet to the newbe... I guess that the less desireable admin stuff is no longer safe.

Nice set!

I agree as well! You have some very significant items. I love that Enfield!

Too Funny! It is almost like the Navy having a Sand Service Ribbon!

Bill, Now that is quality!! Thanks for sharing the family with us!! I would love to find a set (or single) for OberstLt-Ing and Oberst-Ing

What price tag would be normal for this piece?

Very impressive collection of shoulder boards! Did all medical units have the same shoulder boards?

That is a sweet set!!!

Thank you for posting this collection of rarely seen medals. Are these still in use today? Paul

That is a beautiful bar!

Thank you for posting this attractive medal. How many grades of this award are there? What was it awarded for?

I was referring to Hermann Goering's edged weapons. Sorry for the confussion.

What piping are the shoulderboards? Are they HBT as well, or are they the wool type?

Yep! That tunic is a quality piece!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!

My God! Those pieces change my opinion of Gau badges. Wow... they are better made than many wehrmacht badges I have seen! Very nice pieces, guys!

Those are great, Larry! You have a very steady hand to paint such details! How long does it take you to do each? Paul

Could this ribbon be for wear in the button hole?
