Offered is a matching pair of original World War II German Luftwaffe Obergefreiter (Senior Lance Corporal) sleeve rank chevrons, featuring the desirable early-style silver metallic Tresse construction.
Each insignia features two sharply defined V-shaped chevrons made from bright silver-colored aluminum braid, neatly machine-sewn onto a triangular Luftwaffe blue-gray wool backing. This distinctive design represents the enlisted rank of Obergefreiter in the German Air Force during WWII.
The bright silver Tresse is characteristic of earlier Luftwaffe rank insignia, before the widespread introduction of subdued blue-gray braid during the war.
Both chevrons retain their original wool backing, with visible period machine stitching on the reverse. The matching construction and attractive silver braid make this a desirable pair for collectors of German Luftwaffe uniforms and insignia.
Condition: Very good original condition with light age-related toning to the silver braid, minor wear, and slight fraying along the wool edges. Both insignia retain their complete double-chevron design and display nicely. Please examine all photographs carefully.
An excellent matching pair of original WWII Luftwaffe enlisted rank insignia, suitable for uniform restoration, display, or inclusion in a German aviation militaria collection.
Shipping included to the lower 48 contiguous United States.
