Hi Guys! I would be so grateful if you answer my questions. What collar tab is this? SS? its original?

[KRISSE]

I rather think this is SA.
What color is it exactly? Black, grey or darker green?

If it's an SS Collar Tab, the rank would be Sturmfuehrer...I can't comment on originality as I don't collect SS...
cheers, Glenn

KRISSE unfortunately, I do not know what color is it. I asked the seller

Looks like a very early collartab for sure...

What, please, is a "very early collar tab?"

[KRISSE]

What, please, is an "early collar tab?"

Good question. Actually I'm referring to the shape of the collartab. This has a more pronounced trapezoidal shape then what we see on 'later' collartabs...
Also guessing that the use of cardboard on collartabs only appeared on earlier collartabs.

I could be wrong offcourse.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Well, we could all be wrong. I opened a thread on the meaning of the term "early SS peaked cap," apropos of nothing.

I am afraid that there is more guess in all of this and not very much science, as it were.

Bob Coleman or Wim Saris can well say something wise on this score.
