Heer Gebirgsjäger Officers Collar Tabs

Product Description: Presented are a matched pair of Heer Gebirgsjäger Officers Collar Tabs, featuring bullion style litzen with dark green wool and centrally aligned dark green Waffenfarbe stripes denoting Mountain Troops service. Both tabs are mounted on original stiffeners, which remain firm and intact. These Heer Gebirgsjäger Officers Collar Tabs are a fine example of German officer insignia from a highly sought-after combat arm.

Historical Description: WWII German collar tabs (Kragenspiegel) were key uniform insignia used by the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, and Waffen-SS to denote branch, rank, and unit affiliation. Typically worn in pairs on tunic collars, their designs varied by service—Heer used colored Litzen, Luftwaffe featured gulls or oak leaves, and the SS used distinctive symbols like runes and skulls, with one tab often showing unit and the other rank. Officers’ tabs were often finely embroidered with silver bullion, while wartime shortages later led to simpler, subdued versions. Foreign volunteers in German service had unique tab designs incorporating national emblems. Today, original collar tabs are highly collectible, especially SS variants, though reproductions are common, making authentication vital.
