Description
Luftwaffe collar tabs were worn on the uniform collar and identified both the wearer’s rank and branch of service. Flak personnel served with the Luftwaffe’s extensive anti-aircraft artillery arm, operating weapons ranging from light automatic cannon to the famous heavy 8.8 cm Flak guns. The insignia configuration on this pair corresponds to the enlisted rank of Stabsgefreiter. Luftwaffe enlisted collar tabs used metal or embroidered rank “gulls” to indicate rank, while branch colouring identified the wearer’s service speciality.
Made of Red Felt and Aluminum, this auction features a complete matching set of German Stabsgefreiter (Corporal) Collar Tabs! Featuring four stamped alloy rank “gulls” and a yellow buckram backing, this is a matching set, in VERY NICE condition! Probably never worn, These came from the estate of Stabsgefreiter Johann Haidinger! Sadly, I do not have any further information. The Death Card shown in the last images are for reference only, and not part of this auction (it comes with a Belt Buckle I have listed elsewhere). Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
*** NOTE ***
I have other items from his estate in my other listings, including his original Belt Buckle and Marksmanship Lanyard.
