Scott Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 These are being offered at a decent price, and I wanted to know if they look proper and correct for period tabs.Thanks!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think I hear crickets Any opinions at all? They are either so textbook 'right' it's a waste of time to answer, or so obviously fake it's an even bigger waste of time to answer. However, I hold out hope someone provide an opinion one way or the other Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Hi ScottI don't see a problem with them. I will admit I have not seen stiching like that on the reverse but I don't see that as a concern.Hope this helps some Edited March 18, 2008 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of the embroidery or the material used for the yellow badge cloth. Who is offering these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks gents. I spoted them on Manion's - hence my authinticity concern. However, the bids for the tabs have since gone above my interest level, so my purchase interest is now mute. However, I did learn from your comments .Thanks again.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Out of curiosity what is the bid at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) I think last night they shot past $150 (they may be higher now). They don't close for another day or two. The opening bid was $20, so I thought I'd ask for opinions in case the bids stayed low. I'm not a 'tab guy', but that could change for a good price.

Paul R Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think that the bids are most likely shill bids. I have never seen an unquestionably original set come close to that price on Ebay. These tabs have more than a couple of areas of concern(for me anyway).RegardsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The fabric looks to be too "loose" in weave compared to known originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The fabric looks to be too "loose" in weave compared to known originals.I agree. I noticed that as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 The price in my previous email was incorrect. As of last night the high bid was at ~$117. Thanks again for the words of caution on these.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
