Thank you for the measurements, O3Fahenen!   Now all I need to know what materials they use to make the collar tabs.  

[Bayern]

Iron Cross Diamonds : The collar tabs were normally . made of a piece of cardboard covered with felt or wool cloth , the braid was made of silver or gold kantille , and thread . the kantille is the thicker part , normally the design is cutout of paper , glued over the cloth and then hand braided over .

Thank you for the information Bayern

My pleasure , Take a look to the site The Marshalls Baton . the site is dedicated to the third reich era Generals uniforms and insignia . but the part about the generals collar tabs could be useful 

[Iron Cross Diamonds]

Dear Bayern:

I found that website The Marshalls Baton sometime ago; however, I do appreciate you telling me about it.  I found the section about the East German general collar tabs very interesting.  I thought that cornfield blue German Coast Artillery General Collar tab would have been better on the Luftwaffe General uniform.  In addition, I seem to like the German Admiral Navy Blue uniform much better when it had the admiral shoulder boards on it.  The same thing for the Royal Navy Admirals when they have a gold admiral shoulder board place on the right shoulder of their navy blue uniform complete with aiguillettes.

Thank you, O3fahnen.

By the way,  thank you to everyone with the Saxon General collar tabs.  I was able to find a person on ebay who made a couple of them for me.

Nice pieces.

Very nice display. I've never seen the General u. Flügal Adjutant or the Adjutant for a Royal Prince. 

If anyone has photos of these in use I certainly would be thrilled to see them.

And finally, after years of searching, get a silver embroidered patch for Bavarian generals

[ccj]

Lovely... send one my way.... lol

[Bayern]

Hello , congratulations and thanks for share.

[03fahnen]

Hello,
Today I wanted to show these neck patches, which belong to a bluse of King Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
A merchant offered it to me and it was in my hands, but a superior bid did not keep me.

[ccj]

Super...
