East German Border Guard (Grenztruppen) Officer Collar Tabs Pair

Complete your Cold War uniform restoration or militaria display with an authentic matched pair of East German Border Guard (Grenztruppen der DDR) Officer Collar Tabs (Kragenspiegel). Sourced from original GDR military stocks, these unissued officer collar tabs demonstrate the distinct uniform styling of the East German border security forces during the Cold War era.

Branch Identification & Material Details

Each collar tab is built on a high-grade black wool backing, which historically designated the Grenztruppen (Border Troops) and specific motorized infantry/engineer branches of the GDR armed forces. Mounted on the black wool base are silver-colored metallic officer pillars (Doppellitze), providing the classic officer-grade insignia appearance required for service tunics (Dienstuniform) and dress coats (Paradeuniform).
