    Thanks Raymond,can you post a pic of it,like to see it.Not real rare but you dont see too many so must be uncommon.

    Here's what the cardboard backing on these usually look like , a little more tan & shiny .
    But I've also seen it period replaced by thin paper for a less rigid appearance , so who knows .
    The insignia itself is definitely a fine original , and it could be the photography that makes the cardboard look a bit dull ?

    Thanks for the pics and info!Yeah it looks the same as your second pic in hand,just the outside lighting makes it look a duller lighter brown.Here is a better pic inside but cant get a true image of color with my indoor lighting.Its a waxy cardboard.I think it as issued but you never know.

    I believe there was great variation in the Late-War cardboard backings, as suppliers became unreliable.
    It looks good to me.

    Thanks again CBN!Rossi thanks for showing your tab ,very nice,that backing seems to be more normal for these collar tabs,wonder why they went to cardboard late,cheaper?

    Here is an example from John at German War Booty that has a cardboard backing.
