Single Panzer Collar Tab (Kragenspiegel)

The use of collar ornamentation on military uniforms was utilized by numerous assorted nations with the main function being the indication of the wearer’s rank and/or branch of service.
In November 1934 the Germans introduced the black Panzer wrap tunic for the newly formed armored units and it was worn through-out the war with minor modifications in 1936 and 1942.
Along with the new black Panzer wrap tunic the Germans also introduced the unique Panzer collar tabs which utilized the old Prussian "Danziger" style skull and crossbones.
The skulls and crossbones were worn through-out the war with minor manufacturing variations.

The general waffenfarbe for all armored units was pink although other colors were utilized including red for armored artillery units, golden yellow for armored reconnaissance units and the 24th Panzer Division, lemon yellow for armored signals units and, for a short time, alternating black and white for armored engineer units.

Nice quality, elongated, black wool construction collar tabs with lemon yellow waffenfarbe piping and a, silver washed, stamped alloy, construction Prussian "Danziger" style skull and crossbones.
The skulls and crossbones feature circular eye cut-outs and triangular nose cut-out, embossed cranium detailing and dual rows of teeth with no bottom jaw.
The crossbones extend outwards from either side of the skull. Prongs all complete. Removed from a uniform.

This single Panzer collar tab is an attractive example of a scarce and desirable piece of German Army insignia.
The machine stitching is typical for wartime factory made insignia.
