H026594 GENERAL OFFICER'S RANK COLLAR TAB. (Kragenspiegel) 

BACKGROUND: Officer’s with General ranks from Generalmajor to Generalfeldmarschall were accorded distinctive collar tabs on March 22ND 1900, that were based on uniform ornamentation of the 26TH Prussian Infantry Regiment, Alt Larisch of the 1800's. These "Larisch" pattern collar tabs were utilized through out WWI, the Weimar Reichswehr era and on into the Third Reich. Originally these "Larisch" pattern collar tabs were all produced with gilt bullion ornamentation until regulations of July 15TH 1938 permitted the use of golden yellow celleon threads for the ornamentation. Regulations of April 3RD 1941 introduced a new, slightly elongated, pattern collar tab for the rank of Generalfeldmarschall with additional ornamentation. The ranks of Generalmajor to Generaloberst continued wear of the shorter "Larisch" collar tabs for the duration of WWII. 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Left hand side collar tab with a red wool base and hand embroidered Arabesque style "Larisch" pattern ornamentation in gilt bullion wire threads. The Larisch pattern ornamentation consists of two, triple pointed, vertical prongs with a decorative, horizontal, arrow head shaped ornamentation at the forward edge and down swept flared tail shaped decoration near the reverse edge. On unfinished wool backing.
