How Rare? Luftwaffe Hauptmann Collar Tabs

[tempelhof]

you are free to purchase them if you will, but you will find controversy with these tabs i fear for the exact reasons already illuminated.

there are norms within which one must operate in this hobby and anything outside these norms has a high chance of creating headache later.

may i ask why this particular set is attractive to you? there are many of this rank out there which are not controversial. why not chose one of those?

Would you reject the two tabs above that KMMorris posted? because the gulls are the same, but not the wreaths, totally different.

The link that you posted, contains tabs that in my opinion are beaten up very beady (can not be 100% because of the light) or they are fakes. I believe it would be the latter of the two. In the end the tabs the are in the OP have to many problems, you can very easy find a better set.

I have given you all the info on the matter so now it is your responsibility to take it on board or buy them regardless.
Hope this has helped. Morris
