Goodie for the day: 1-1-07 Cutoff collar corner from an M40 tunic, showing upgrade of EM tab to officer's, by addition of twisted cord border. These type tabs had white silken runes, which turned golden-brown, with wear and age. I bought this circa 1970, for the then-preposterous sum of $35.00! This was in the days before unprincipled dealers started concocting cutoffs, by attaching real or repro insignia to parts of uniform, to inflate the asking price.
