This is not an Estonia tab, I believe it is a temporary camp guard tab.

I see, I did look up a temporary concentration camp guard patch and this one looks like one. It also says they were made in Dachau
-
Most mint late war SS collars tabs seen are the market came from Dachau.
The SS utilized camp slave labour to make uniforms and insignia.
When the camp was liberated many thousands of SS collars tabs where liberated by allied soldiers.
Along with many other uniforms and insignia.

Estonians did not get the SS runes for collars, some had only one, some none. Because they could not make enough for everyone fast enough.
Some hand-stitched a hand holding a sword with a E on top to their right collar.
(taken from Estonian Legion website: Eesti Leegioni sumboolika - Kraenurgad )
Edit: In all fairness this was made a official Emblem of the 20th division in the summer of 1944, but even then, the 45th and 47th unit had been given different emblems "E and a sword" (No in estonian....seen as "Estonia never again" by Estonian soldiers)....

There was also a German manufactured Estonian Collar with a larger E.
