Collar Tabs

Are these real?

Kinda interesting...

I like the badges even if they are fake.

What's the deal with the tab on the left being upsidedown?

Rusty.

I am interested by few uniform accessories and fell on these these collar tabs?

Are they real? I mean, are they legit, authentic, regulatory? They are certainly unissued I understand and accept this, but do you think they were made during soviet time and are ok?

Is it normal that some are smaller than others?

Thanks to inform me.

These look authentic. The larger tabs are greatcoat collar patches, easily identifable by the lack of gilt metal trim (which was used on parade and service tunics). The smaller ones are tunic collar patches, worn on service uniforms.

They are (first picture left to right) - Justice Troops, Railway troops, Airforce, Topographical troops, Military Transport, KGB, Artillery and Motor Rifle Infantry.

Next picture left to right - Civillain Police, Airborne, Construction troops, Artillery (attached to a Motor Rifle unit), Chemical troops, Military Construction, MVD and Signals.

Thanks vikingraider1,
Your information is very useful. I didn't notice or realize that there was a difference in collar tabs for greatcoat and service uniform tunics.

I think that these collars are real ones but they are belong to one of Eastern Block countries, not Soviet Union.

I think they´re bulgarian.

I think also it's bulgarian. I have a picture of a border guard collar tab, it's the same insignia (but not the same quality). I guest for a milice (police) officer if the piping is silver, may be some internal troops if the piping is gold.

The collar tab concerning this thread is not here, but it´s the same style. I think it must be for parade or walking out dress.
