Paul, Eric is the new tab collector I was telling you about. Eric, Paul is the other tab collector I was telling you about. Gary B

Dear Gefreiter, He is a member of a Luftwaffe band unit, an Obermusikmeister (equivalent to a Oberleutnant). The tabs he is wearing are the post 37 pattern. He is wearing the SA sports badge on his pocket flap and a medal bar with: 1914 EK2, Combattant Hindenburg Cross, unknown and (I believe) a Prussian Long service award. Reverse apperars to have his rank and name "Obermusikmeister Paul Kutze of the Luftwaffe". Gary B

It has become more and more difficult for me to find tabs that I need for my collection, but I have managed to acquire a few over the past few months and I would like to share this set with the forum. These tabs are, perhaps, the ugliest pair I have ever seen in all of my collecting years. I am not sure of the country of origin. Major, Flight-para, foreign made Gary B

These were never identified but most likely deal with the reserve Luftwaffe admin. Gary B

Rvs P.S. I will be waiting for your PM, Paul!

Hi, Attached are a pair of yet unidentifiable tabs. From the colors, they are most likely Administrative Reserve. Gary B
