This set of tabs is unique, in that the pips are small metal pips, instead of being bullion embroidered.  I would normally believe these tabs to be reproduction as a result, except the age and quality of the bullion embroidery, in addition to the construction (cloth, bullion, and buckram backing) is otherwise textbook.  While I am advertising these as original, there is definitely a downward pressure on the price as result of the metal pips.  Who would do such an exquisite job on bullion embroidery, and then affix small metal pips to the tabs?  Please bid accordingly.  Opening bid is extremely low, due to the nature of this lot.
