Everything about these tabs appear period. The only problem is that I know nothing about TK insignia. With this being said I contacted Robin Lumsden, who informed me that the TKs on this set are from a late war design and were not seen on tunics or insignia dating prior to 1944.

What were the later TKs made of? Zinc? Is it possible that under humid or unfavorable conditions, this metal can corrode, without leaving effects on the material?

This set was presneted to me medical, yet I doubt that this is the case as it specifically states in the regs(Angolia) that medical personel attached to the HG would retain their solid blue waffenfarbe tabs. However, I do feel that these tabs are for a reservist in the Reg or Div HG.

I am very excited about them!

When looking at the tabs closely, I see some threads along the blue piping? Could this be evidence that the tabs were attached to a tunic at some point, or is this part of the overall construction?

I look forward to discussion on this item!

Regards
Paul
