WW2 German Unterscharfuhrer Black Wool Collar Rank Tab Kragenspiegel

Original WWII German Unterscharführer Collar Rank Tab (Kragenspiegel). Up for sale (what my research has assured me) is an original World War II German black wool left-side collar rank tab for the rank of Unterscharführer (Junior NCO). This piece exhibits textbook period construction and uniform-removed wear.

Front: Constructed of dark black wool badge cloth with perimeter machine stitching and a centered, four-pointed ribbed silver-tone metal rank pip (Rangstern). Reverse: Features a classic stiff, coarse tan woven buckram (Steifleinen) core with the black wool folded neatly over the edges. The metal pip is secured cleanly through the buckram with its two original flat, brass-toned split prongs.

Dimensions: Measures approximately 4 cm in height (standard wartime regulation size). Shows honest period wear, light surface fuzzing to the wool, stitched holes along the border from tunic attachment, and minor fraying at the corners where the underlying buckram is slightly visible. Please review all high-resolution photos closely-including the reverse construction and tape measurement views-to judge condition and details for yourself. Offers and questions always welcome!
