The attractive - truly used, fully matching and actually not that easily found! - WH (Luftwaffe) collar-patch-pair (ie. 'Kragenspiegelsatz für Mannschaften und Unteroffiziere der Luftwaffe') is executed in the typical white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured- and/or smooth- (ie. 'felt-like'-type-) wool and is additionally 'piped' with bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured (and/or: unusually seen woolen-type) piping as is more often encountered with these HG-related collar-tabs (as can be seen on the pictures). The somewhat 'broader-shaped' patches were most certainly issued and I deem worn ie. once tunic-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Both tabs show a pair of (fully identical, dual-pronged and/or: zinc-based) silver-greyish-coloured gulls (ie. wings or: 'Schwingen') period-attached and are both nicely 'backed' with the beige-yellow-coloured- (and/or typical buckram-based) material as more often encountered. Both tabs are piped with the (typical) bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter') coloured and/or woolen-based piping (something that most certainly denoted 'Artillerie'-usage). The pair does show some minimal age, wear and/or staining (as can be noticed on the pictures). This neat - and very nicely preserved! - 'Kragenspiegel'-pair was recently found at a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. The pair came together with the similar-structured HG-pair I offer under nr. 73169: both pairs belonged to the same soldier who wore these and kept them as such for decades. It should be noted that these genuine, 'HG-Division'-related LW-collar-tabs can be easily graded 'fairly scarce'!
