Product Information

Machine embroidered in unbroken white thread on a luxurious black velveteen moleskin backing, moleskin has not been manufactured post war. Not a uniform removal, so the condition is second to none, and exudes quality German design.

The first SS Collar Tabs were introduced in 1929 by Himmler as part of the newly introduced SS uniform code. Lower ranks would wear a rank tab as well as a numbered unit identification tab, with senior leaders wearing their rank tabs on both collars. In 1933 the SS runic tab was adopted by Hitler’s bodyguard detachment, the Leibstandarte (LAH). In 1934 the runic SS tabs were again adopted for use by the early SS-VT units, leading to the widespread use of SS runic tabs by German Divisions.
