Luftwaffe Veterinarian tabs or insignia

[PaulR]

Does anyone have any Luftwaffe Veterinarian tabs or insignia to share? They used a carmine waffenfarbe like Heer vets.

I know that they existed and that related insignia items are ultra rare.

According to Angolia's Luft. vol 1, pg. 371, Luft. NCO 's and enlisted wore
Crimson (carmine) waffenfarb. The same as General Staff officers.

No mention is made of officer waffenfarb for vet. units.

If you have any of these EM tabs, please post them!!! If you have a tunic, even better!

Warm regards
Paul

Twelve years later... bumping up to see if anything had emerged.

You already know these items from the "Very rare Luftwaffe insignia" thread ...

Here’s a comparison between Flak and the vet waffenfarben. Another next to medic brethren.

Could you post more tunic details?

I had the tunic for sale at the last Max show and sold it to a forum member. Actually offered to Paul first, but glad he finally got it.

Jerry!? You broke my heart! I thought I was the first one!

I too am happy that Paul ended up with it. I can’t think of a better person to achieve their “grail piece” and I am honored to be apart of it.

Thank you all for your kind words. I owe Dave so much for his trust and flexibility in allowing me to be the next caretaker of this pinnacle (for me) item, despite my current, yet resolving situation. I’d been hearing rumors of this item for close to 20 years now. When Jerry showed me Images last year, my jaw hit the floor in disbelief. Sadly I was not in the position to commit. To finally have it in my charge is a once in a lifetime occurrence.

I found the correct wings to replace those missing from the collar tabs, which based upon the fade pattern, were recently removed.

Gene- I did not know you had those straps. Wow. How long have you owned those? I think the second pair are for panzerjaeger.

I can’t believe we started this thread 15 years ago.

I think 15 years or so
