Greetings all,

Firstly I must say that this has been one informed interesting thread that I've been watching with great importance.Excellent detail and sound positive discussion focusing on the reasons in looking for original SS tabs and not just dismissing something as a fake without any explanation like some other threads on this forum have done , but teaching as to why.
It's the sort of discussion that's required on the forum these days where new collectors can learn why a collar tab is real or fake.

Secondly ,I had a tunic like that years ago without the collar tabs only with a sleeve eagle and it was a pearler.

I have probably seen a good 4 to 5 tunics down here with two of them having the tabs on the collar many years ago.Never the less they looked ok to me at the time remembering that the internet was not here back then and detail knowledge like this didn't exist.

Well done guys.
I applaud you.

Cheers
NCO
