Pair of Skull Pads for Collar Tabs + Foto.
1 pair of skull pads for collar tabs uniforms + Foto.
This is a truly attractive and fully matching (actually hard to find) pair standard issue pattern, WH (Heeres) based skull-devices (Totenköpfe für Kragenspiegel) as were intended for usage on (amongst others) the black woolen-based Panzer collar tabs.
Skulls of metal alloy non-magnetic, with complete magnetic fixings.
Totenkopf used by German Panzer Troops these were commonly pinned to the lapels of "tropical" tunics by tankers of the Afrika Korps, and occasionally used on caps and other uniforms.
Portrait picture postcard depicting a WH (Heeres) Panzer soldier wearing his black coloured wrap-around tunic and side cap (Schiffchenmütze) and that comes in an overall nicely preserved, condition. The picture - sized: 13,5 x 8,5 cm.
Shows nice details such as with all insignia (such as the pink-piped collar-patches), his linnen-based shirt and tie and of course side-cap (Schiffchenmütze) being worn (as can be seen on the pictures).
Theof the portrait (which shows photographers logo) is described on the back: Pfingsten, 1944
Eine kleine "Erinnerung!" Dein Vetter Richard. (A little "reminder!" Your cousin Richard)
In any case an attractive Panzer related portrait picture!
