Flea market find?
Hello Everyone,
I am not a collector of German militaria so could do with advice regarding the collar tab below. It was in a junk box at a local flea market for £3 or $4.693050!
I realise that it is probably a joke item, but it has, in my opinion age and the smell to go with it, so it could be an old joke!
Would appreciate any thoughts. I am not expecting good news, so no need to be coy.
Kind regards, Malcolm.
Not so fast! i have this article i found in an old militeria book i have. I can not speak for the authenticity of this piece, because they were homemade. If i were you I would hold onto it! here is what i have for you!
Hello
home-made, by definition it's play lottery !!

Versatile170. Thank you for the reply and interesting article.
Didier. Good point taken on board.
Kind regards, Malcolm.
To me, this tab is typical of those worn by Latvian volunteers, and could very well be original...
Good to see you posting here. We always need your wisdom and kind aid.by Arran
Great find if proven original.
My local flea market had a group protesting the selling of TR material, most of which were repros.
Arran, Many thanks for replying. It it greatly appreciated. I have now gone from believing it to be a joke item, to perhaps thinking . . .?
Visor: Even if it turns out not to be original, it will have been £3 worth of fun!
Kind regards, Malcolm
Thank you F-B- my recent correspondence with you has inspired me to return to the internet...
Thanks. Hundreds here profit from your experience and I owe you a special debt, to be sure.
