Group of Souvenir German Shoulder Straps and Collar Tab

The insignia were stapled to a card, with handwritten identifications. The insignia consists of a single army artillery enlisted ranks waffenrock collar tab; a pair of army pioneer shoulder straps; a shoulder strap of the army 16th artillery regiment, which has a button sewn to the underside, likely to permit the wearing of a marksmanship lanyard; and an army artillery NCO observer of the 16th artillery regiment. The insignia show age and wear but they are all in very good used condition. As a further note, the army’s 16th artillery regiment would be re-designated as the 16th Panzer Artillery Regiment, and it was destroyed at Stalingrad in January of 1943.
