WWII Litzen ????

[olivyaya]

Hello to all... Here is a pair of Litzen that puzzle me...
I 1st thought they were DDR... but the measurements do not correspond to NVA ones. They are 75X35 mm.
Could these be WH WWII ???
Thanks for help !!

Those are not Heer Litzen. They may be fire police or something on the wrong backing. They probably should be on a backing similar in color to the waffenfarbe.

I think it is a Kragenpatte for Unteroffiziere and Mannschaften der Panzertruppen
(PINK) der Whermacht.

Can't be panzer because the center stripe is also pink...
Only the top and bottom ones are supposed to be pink!
I agree possibly fire (feuerwehr) related with the wrong backing material!

You mean these aren't early NVA Panzer collar tabs? I think they are. Chris

I agree now...most likely post war...so DDR...explains the lack of buckram stiffener material...
Not war time fire with wrong backing color...as War time fire had the backing material in pink as an integral part of the tab...(in one piece)

The original question was whether they were Wehrmacht period issue. I say they are not. The only way they could be TR is possible fire police on the wrong backing. They are not Heer for sure. I don't collect DDR so I can't comment.
