Paul R Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Just in this morning, an interesting Luftwaffe Administrative set. The interesting part is that the tabs are in cornflower blue versus the standard dark green. Talking to people with more experience than myself, the theory is that these belonged to a Luftwaffe Medical Administration Official. This branch is not listed in any reference books that I know of, so this is just a theory.Both Angolia and Davis say that the blue nebenfarbe on the shoulder boards was for early construction officials, yet the tabs were supposed to be dark green. Any other feedback or comments are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Another great set of tab paul However, the blue farbe of the boards looks to be a shade off from the tabs (perhaps it's the lighting), and there doesn't seem to be button holes stitched in the strap part of the boards to secure them?Scott Edited December 23, 2007 by Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--dj--Joe Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Paul R.This is a learning question for me. How often have you observed the stitching pattern on the reverse of the tabs? It would have thrown me off causing my paranoid self to not pick them up. My foray into cloth items has been slow and deliberate. Always looking to learn.--dj--Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looking to learn.--dj--JoeHi Scott,The blue nebenfarbe is a little darker on the shoulder boards than on the tabs. Of course, the base color is dark green. Hi Joe,Thank you for your post. Yes, I have seen similar stitching on other collar tabs in my collection. I will find an example to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Here is an example of one of my sets constructed in a similar manner. It is for a TSD Administration Lt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary9 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 PaulR I still believe that the TSD tabs that you show are actually for the earlier DLV, the colour is much paler than TSD and the embroidery is much thicker, reminiscent of earlier embroideries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 You could be right. I did pick up the oberstlt tab as well. I do see a color difference. Do you think that the senior tab could be TSD? I dont have any DLV stuff to compare the set of tabs to.Do you have any clues or theories about the blue admin set?
