PERSONAL GROUPING OF 11 DECORATIONS AND DOCUMENTS BELONGING TO WORLD WAR II GERMAN LUFTWAFFE STUKA PILOT AND GERMAN CROSS IN GOLD WINNER LIEUTENANT HEINZ SCHMITT

Pictured left is a group photo of the six (6) individual badges and insignia that are included, together with the family statement, death notification, mailing envelope, engraved dagger and hangers, that collectively comprise this total eleven (11) piece lot. In the balance of this website we will view each of these items in greater detail.

LUFTWAFFE FLIGHT OFFICER (LIEUTENTANT's RANK) COLLAR TAB

The first item discussed will be the Luftwaffe Collar Tab, which is a Lieutenant's rank for an officer in the flight branch of service. As seen in the enlarged photos of the front and reverse of this tab below, it is definitely original to the period by any criteria. Moreover, it still has the original PK price label on its reverse, giving it an even greater degree of uniqueness.

Pictured above from left to right and top to bottom, are the following items:

1. Cloth German Cross in Gold

Luftwaffe Flight Officer's Collar Tab - Lieutenant Rank

3. Iron Cross First Class

4. Luftwaffe Pilot's Badge

Luftwaffe Bomber Pilot's Front Fighter Service Bar

As is clearly visible in these photos, all of the brocade work and edge wire rope piping on this item is completely intact. Similarly demonstrated is its lack of any mothing, rips, dirt makrs or other deficiencies that would need attention. In all ways, it is an excellent example of a Luftwaffe Flight Officer's Collar Tab in its own right and would be a great additon to any Luftwaffe World War III era collection.
