Phil Baker discusses this type of tab in YLBY (volume 3 I think). I discussed Steve's tab with him since I had initially thought it might even be the very tab illustrated (seemingly not since there are a few small differences). Anyway, Phil Baker relayed to me how he had asked Axmann himself about them. Axmann confirmed that he had never worn such a tab. The final nail in the coffin!
For those that have the new Saris book, these tabs are discussed there too (with a nod to Phil Baker's earlier writings). A genuine Axmann tab is also shown; the quality is far superior.
