Border Tab

[ccfc]

Hello

Can I ask your opinion on this Border shoulder tab being WW2 period please?

I'm thinking post war but a nice example.

Appreciate your opinions

It is postwar, that is why it is still available after all those weeks online.

Hi ccfc,

I've attached a ww2 version for reference.

And a WW2 variation of Marinus' example.

Thank You for the detailed information.

At least I've got an idea of what I'm looking for now

Many thanks

Have no real knowledge on the tab in question, but I do know that on some of the older film, the color yellow would look black or dark in black and white pictures. Not sure if that might apply here or not???

however this is not relevant to the colour of thread used in the construction of the WW2 1st ( Airborne ) Battalion, the Border Regiment
