SS-Untersturmfuhrers Collar Tabs.
SS-Untersturmfuhrers Collar Tabs (Kragenpatten)
Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler's obsession with pagan runic symbolism manifested itself in runic emblems used by the SS, the most famous of which was the dual sig-runes used on the collar tabs and helmets decals of the SS.
The SS collar tabs remained in usage through-out the war with a couple of minor alterations. The ranks of SS-Sturmscharführer to SS-Hauptsturmführer inclusively utilized alternating twisted black and silver/aluminum cord piping from May 19TH 1933 until October 24TH 1934 when it was altered to silver/aluminum cord piping.
The collar tabs consist of the right hand side SS runic collar tab and a SS-Untersturmführers, left hand side rank collar tab. The right hand side collar tab features a black wool base with hand embroidered SS runes in bright silver/aluminum wire threads.
The left hand side rank collar tab features three, silver washed, stamped alloy rank pips. Both of the collar tabs have a twisted silver/aluminum piping to the outside edges and are mounted on tan buckram bases.
