Hello,

Your tabs are a pair of litzen for the collar tabs of a low level NCO of the Schutzpolizei d. Gemeinden. The GemPo was the small town police for jurisdictions too small for a Schutzpolizei office. These "tobacco" colored tabs were used from 1936 until 1941, after which the more often seen silver backed litzen became standard.

They would have been mounted as shown here.
