German Uniform Insignia

This collection features original German Army (Heer) uniform insignia from the World War II era, with a focus on shoulder boards, collar tabs, breast eagles, and specialty patches. Each piece represents the rank structure, unit designation, and service branch of the German Empire through to the Third Reich from 1935 to 1945.

Included are officer and enlisted shoulder straps from infantry, panzer, pioneer (engineer), artillery, and other branches, as well as rank pips, unit numbers, and Waffenfarbe piping in branch-specific colors. Many items in the collection are regimentally numbered or tailored to specific field and administrative roles. These insignia provide insight into the German Army’s organizational structure and uniform regulations during the war years.

All items are guaranteed original period pieces unless otherwise noted and are ideal for collectors, historians, and museum curation focused on WW1 and WW2 militaria.
