I've replaced the Collar Tab galleries with Insignia galleries containing both collar tabs and shoulder boards/straps. Please take a look and let me know if you see any errors or think of anything that should be included. Thanks very much, Vern

I agree with Paul, great job. Helpful to guys like me that only really know a certain area seeing all the insignia in this format. Thanks for your hard work.

Did an update on the RAD and Postschutz shoulder boards, and added a couple of rare RMBO collar tabs to the insignia galleries. Did a big reorganization to the Sonderfuhrer and Beamte sections and added the Luft Base Firefighters tabs and boards.

An update of collar tabs and boards for the FAD, RAD, Schuma, Arbeitseinsatzverwaltung, and Transportflotte Speer. The Collar/Shoulder Tab Galleries now include photos of identified originals for 760 collar tabs, 536 shoulder straps/boards, and 87 cyphers This covers most of the Party, Military, and State organizations in the 3rd Reich. If you have any that are not included, I would really appreciate photos with identification. If you see any errors, please email or post your corrections/questions. Thanks very much to the members who have already sent/posted corrections for the galleries!

Thanks John. I've gotten a few emails and these galleries seem to be a hit. One local dealer said he kept a box of unidentified tabs and straps, and by going through the galleries, he was able to id them all. A few turned out to be rare tabs so he was very happy. Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions. And a big thanks to the member who send photos of 10 Reichpost tabs and a copy of the regulations with ranks and titles. I redid that section and it's now fairly complete. I'll be looking over some of the other sections as they can be a bit confusing. The SA Gallery comes to mind so I'll see if it can be simplified, or at least add some information on how to use it to completely identify a collar tab. Again, thanks everyone and keep the comments coming

You're most welcome, and thank you. After all, you're the one who asked for it in the first place After going through over 1400 photos, editing and scaling them to a standard size, then identifying and organizing them, it's been a fun project. There are probably a few errors still in the galleries, but I think it's a good start! With the continued help of our fellow collectors, we'll keep improving and expanding the galleries.
