Is this possibly a original, but damaged collar tab? The buckram is dyed black by the looks of it. Thanks for looking.

The buckram has had dye transferred to it. If your planning on buying it I would suggest you pass on it it almost looks home made with no cloth folded on the back edges. If you were to buy but you may struggle to move it on in the future.

Thank you David I've had this a while and was wandering if the edges had come away.
Yes. But fake most likely
Yes it looks like a put together. I have seen tabs absorbing dye run from collars, but not to this degree.
And if the piping was original to this bogus piece the white thread attaching it should have some discolouration!
I think It's a wartime put together (field made), the normally "beige" cloth backing is a good cloth pattern. I don't think It's dyed, I guess It was wet on some point and got through the cloth.
