Original German WWII Waffen SS Temporary KZ-Guard Collar Tab with Provenance Military Awards Medals Badges Insignia as indicated by the brassOriginal Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice right side Collar Tab, used by the Waffen SS to indicate a temporary guard at a KZ camp. These were members of other branches of the armed forces who were not members of the SS, but were serving as "temporary" guards. The tab is a parallelogram with sides measuring 2" x 1 5 8". Known as Kragenpatte in German, these were attached to the collars to indicate the rank and branch of the wearer.
