Heer Panzergrenadier Officer Collar Tabs

Product Description: An original matched set of Panzergrenadier officer collar tabs, featuring bullion silver thread embroidered into dark green wool on original stiffeners that remain firm and intact. The tabs show whiting and light wear to bullion, but remain in excellent condition. A nice example of WWII German officer insignia.

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.
