Re: Panzer collar Totenkopf
It is curious, the one that looks complete looks very suspicious to me. The one with a prong left ispires a little more confidence but only slightly. I have a ground dug set that has the same color dirt on the back and some corrosion to it. I have posted it on the forum in the past along with another example. Maybe one of the other members would be able to give you more of a strait answer. I think I more just came to stand beside you and scratch my head with you.

Re: Panzer collar Totenkopf
Hi Glenn, the maker's mark will be "GB" (Gustav Brehmer).
They were usually issued in matched pairs.
To be honest, it is very hard to give a concrete opinion on these regarding originality. He might have found a hoard of them, hence the mixture of makers types? Would I bid on them? No.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Panzer collar Totenkopf
Thanks for the opinion and advice Ade!
Question: Was it only tankers who wore these collar tabs or did other AFV crews also wear them? (Flak, Assault Gun, APC etc)

Re: Panzer collar Totenkopf
Tankers, armoured car crews, assualt gunners, armoured engineers, etc. Basically anyone connected with the Panzer arm. The more obscure ones being Pz Propaganda Kompanies, armoured trains, etc.
Cheers, Ade.
