Stunning - fully matching very rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Luftwaffe) general-officers'-type collar-tabs (ie. 'Kragenspiegel') as was intended for usage by a: 'Leitender Flieger-Chefingenieur' (being a rank similar to: 'Generalleutnant')

This is a very attractive - fully matching and actually very rarely encountered! - pair of neatly hand-embroidered, general-officers'-type WH (Luftwaffe) collar-tabs (ie. 'Kragenspiegel für Generale des Ingenieurskorps der Luftwaffe') as executed on a (typical) bright-pink-coloured background as was specifically intended for a general-officer holding the rank of a: 'Leitender Flieger-Chefingenieur' (being a rank similar to: 'Generalleutnant') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem just moderately used- ie. I deem carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The tabs are executed in the neat smooth-like (ie. 'moleskin'-type) wool and have truly extraordinary detail: the shown craftmanship of the detailed hand-embroidery is simply stunning (as can be seen on the pictures). The backing is constructed of yellowish-brown-coloured, so-called 'buckram'-based cloth (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair just shows some minimal age- ie. staining (simply caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage only: moreover, do they show some minimal thread-remains (as can be seen on the pictures). These 'pink-coloured'- (and higher-ranked!) LW-collar-tabs as constructed in golden-toned braid as intended for senior-staffmembers of the 'Ingenieurkorps der Luftwaffe' are very hard to encounter and can easily be graded 'rare'. This pair was found at a private-household in Germany and originated from a (regrettably unknown) LW-general and 'Ingenieur' who wore these insignia and stored these for decades. Simply a very attractive collar-tab-pair that belonged to a: 'Leitender Flieger-Chefingenieur'!
