<p>[QUOTE="Bondeddy112, post: 458420, member: 9550"]The tabs appear to be correct for WWII style, but is possible they are reproductions. do you have access to a blacklight? A quick, basic test is to see if any parts of the tabs glow under blacklight in the way most modern fabrics do. Its not a definitive answer as some items can still be reproductions made with old materials or very high quality reproductions, but it can be a great place to start. Be sure to flex them where possible to expose any interior stitching to the blacklight to test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
