They look like German collar tabs to me.

[tylerstg]

german stuff can be faked is it real?

You have the collar tabs of a Luftwaffe Major. They appear, to me, to be faked.

Are You positive here are some more pictures

[Howitzer428]

Off the top of my head, I am pretty sure they are that of a Luftwaffe Major. As for if they are authentic or not, I would say not. But, I am not as experienced as some of the other members so, I would get a second opinion.

They are post war Luftwaffe, not quite sure which period, but could be modern types.

That's somewhat what I was thinking. The Mid-War Luftwaffe Major tabs had "bulkier" leaves. Sorry for my mistake, Tyler.

No problem Tyler, just remember post war tabs are normally rectangular in shape whilst TR ones are shaped more like a parallelogram.
