East German Army (NVA) Enlisted Men's Grey Collar Tabs Pair (Air Defense)
Complete your Cold War uniform restoration or militaria display with an authentic matched pair of East German Army (NVA) Enlisted Men's Collar Tabs (Kragenspiegel). Sourced directly from former GDR military stock depots, these unissued new-old-stock collar tabs showcase the distinct aesthetic of Eastern Bloc armed forces during the height of the Cold War.
Branch Symbolism & Construction Details
Each collar tab is built on a durable grey linen backing with dark-piped edges. The center features traditional Doppellitze (double-braid) bars rendered in high-grade aluminium thread using the classic BeVo-style flat-weave technique. The distinct white Waffenfarbe (branch-of-service color) background identifies the wearer as part of the NVA Air Defense / Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte-Luftverteidigung - LSK/LV) branch, making this pair an essential component for branch-accurate uniform builds.
Unissued New-Old-Stock Condition
Offered in clean, unissued military surplus condition, these collar tabs are free from wear or stitching removal marks. They serve as ideal replacements for restoring NVA service tunics (Dienstuniform) or field jackets, completing reenactment impressions, or enhancing glass-case militaria collections.
