Description
When it comes down to SS insignia, collar tabs are always popular. Typically you can NOT find matched sets, especially one of such a high rank as shown here. This set consists of 2 textbook bullion collar tabs that are “mirrored” to one another. These tabs are Type-2 configuration (1942-1945), the front of the tabs shows no damage and very clear signs of being sewn to a uniform at some point during the war. The bullion is tight and very appealing to the eye. This Waffen-SS Collar Tab Set shows the rank of Brigadeführer (Brigadier General), this rank was the 4th highest one in the entire Waffen-SS. Famous General and brother-in-law of Eva Braun, Hermann Fegelein held this rank towards the end of the war when Hitler ordered his execution. The reverse of one of the tabs shows red fabric and slight signs of glue, when found these were glued to a red NSDAP along with a bunch of other German insignia, vets would do this often as displayable “war trophies.” Over the years they had since fell off, and are now being offered for sale here.
Do not hesitate on this set, you would be very hard pressed finding any matched sets to high ranking Generals, these tabs are textbook in every way and without a doubt have been with one another since World War 2!
