SS Untersturmfuhrer collar tabs

SS Untersturmfuhrer collar tabs.  Waffen SS  2nd Lieutenant silver bullion wire collar tabs. Possibly the finest reproduction SS collar tabs available. We have had these made to our specifications with perfect bullion wire runes and correct size silver pips. Some bad examples out there so don`t get caught out. Trust us at Militaria Net!

These tabs feature the SS runic design on one tab in silver  bullion  wire. The left side contains  the rank.  Our embroidered  sig runes are  hand  done  with  very fine  workmanship. Many of these on the market but these are our own manufacture with correct proportions and materials. Really just like the originals.  Most   original collar  tabs  have  the  border   round  the  actual  runes. Many reproductions   fail  to do this.

The  Schutzstaffel (SS)

The  Schutzstaffel (SS) were the  elite guard  of  the Third  Reich. Formed in 1925 as  a small  bodyguard to protect  Hitler.  It  remained  in this  capacity until Heinrich Himmler  took  charge in 1929. So under his jurisdiction  it  grew  to an enormous organisation. Also It became  very powerful. Its co-opted  national police forces, Security, intelligence and business. Eventually  the SS developed is  own branch  of  the Wehrmacht, the  Waffen SS (armed  SS).  From the beginning members  were chosen for  their physical and mental  ability and also there  character. Entry  was  from  21  years  of  age  followed by 18 months probationary period.  The  SS eventually   reflected  Himmlers  esoteric interests  and encompassed  quasi religious  ceremonies  and beliefs.  From 1945  it  was  classed  as a criminal organisation.
