    Luftwaffe General's tabs


    Recommended Posts

    Paul,

    I would be happy to. But it will take a while. Photos will have to be re-sized to work here. It is the uniform of Generalleutnant Ludwig Keiper which, regretfully, I sold just a few weeks ago. The most spectacular Luftwaffe uniform I have ever seen -- tailored in Paris.

    More soon.

    Well,

    The packet arrived today... after close to two months of anticipation!

    After looking over these non textbook tabs in person, I feel that they do indeed have a decent chance at being good. All materials in the making of these odd tabs are non synthetic. They have that certain "feel and smell" as well. I really do not know what else to do other than to post some better scans.

    Please do post your comments after seeing the pics. You will not hurt my feelings! I am here to learn and share ;-)

    Warm regards

    Paul

    Hi Laurence,

    Those are definately bad. The seller is selling them on Ebay as reproductions. I have them posted in the the reproduction tab thread. He states he is unable to email pics of the back sides of the tabs. I would have liked to have them for comparision.

    Regards

    Paul

    Well,

    I have some great feedback from LTC Angolia on these tabs... here are his words: :jumping:

    " ...As for the Luft General der Flieger collar patches, in my opinion,

    these are period original even though they glow. I had Ramcke's

    Fliegerbluse directly from the family. His collar patches and shoulder board

    underlay glowed... "

    Although no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, his words make me feel comfortable in these tabs. Thank you all for your input on this topic.

    Nice looking tab!!!! I have no idea as to what company the maker code represents. I do know that I have seen "22" on a lot of nice tabs! I think that I have a Flak officer with a "22" maker code!
