Gary B Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi, I recently purchased a nice pair of Signal Reserve Tabs with matching shoulder boards. Two items of interest are the snaps affixed to the rear of the tabs to ease attachment/removal from the summer uniform. Most noteworthy about these tabs, but which is not really evident in the scans, is the fact that the stiffening material used on these tabs is sheet metal! All references/regulations I have read state that the stiffening material was either cardboard of buckram/sack cloth. Again this just reinforces the fact that the only rule for collecting some of these items is that the unexpected is to be expected! Gary B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 No chance of saggy wrinklies that way! One of my friends has an army general's tunic which has the points of the pocket flaps sewn down--making the pockets useless -- an EXTRA hook and eye at the neck, and hooks and eyes down the front of the skirt. That guy did NOT want wrinkles either!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
