Pink LW collar tabs - propeller/seagull

[giorgio]

Hi everyone,
I need your help.....
I saw in other forum pics of pink LW officer collar tabs with propellers and
others, alway pink, but with seagulls/birds (or I don't know how to call them).......
I knew that pink was Engineering branch........
Which is the difference?
I bought a pair of these tabs with seagulls, and they look original to me
Thank you very much for helping
Regards
Giorgio

Carmine (which can sometimes look pinkish) with birds is LW General Staff I believe.

Here is an excerpt from an article I did for the GMIC. Here is the link for the entire section.

It is a small part of a bigger project that is still underway:

Corps of Engineer Officers:

An order dated 11May1940 created the "Corps of Engineer Officers" with the eventual disbanding of the "Corps of Engineers" in mind. The many delays in acting on this order, the Corps of Engineers was never disbanded and both the Corps of Engineers and the Corps of Engineer Officers co-existed for the duration of the war. The only difference in the two services was the collar tabs.

Tabs: Rose Pink. Rank was denoted with the use of the wreath and gulls, like regular Luftwaffe Officers.

Notice that it is Rose Pink, not Carmine.

To add a little to Paul's response, There are no Rose Pink officer tabs with gulls that I am aware of.

Dear Girorgio,

For your information:

The Engineer tabs with the propellor are scarce. The General staff tabs are very rare (I have only seen a few pair) and the Engineer tabs with the gulls are impossible to find (I have seen perhaps 2 pair).
