I may be wrong on this but I think the diamond-shaped pattern was SS, although I've seen this litzen used on shoulder straps and collars of Waffen-SS tunics.

Thanks Bob,

yes, indeed looks like the LW Litzen shape. What could be the original purpose ? Or was it a variation of the SS litzen ?
I just try to give it a name since i will sell them.

Thanks alot, Jens

Call it "Luftwaffe NCO Litzen for collar and shoulder straps (not SS)"!

not SS, its fatigue tress normally sewn onto herringbone backing, used by the army as well
