WW2 German Luftwaffe Signals Collar Tab Insignia Single

The WW2 German Luftwaffe Signals Collar Tab Insignia Single is an original uniform component used by signal troops of the German Air Force during the Second World War. This insignia features the classic Luftwaffe signals motif: a pair of lightning bolts, typically embroidered or machine-stitched in silver-grey thread onto a dark blue or black wool backing, signifying personnel assigned to communications and signal duties. The tab was worn on the collar of Luftwaffe tunics to indicate branch affiliation and specific function within the service. Signal units were responsible for maintaining communication lines, both in the field and in support roles. This collar tab represents one half of a pair, as collar insignia were generally worn in mirrored sets. The item reflects period materials and construction methods, demonstrating the standardized insignia system used by German armed forces during WW2. This piece holds significance for collectors and historians studying military uniforms and insignia of the era.
