In addition to the listed insignia, I also have a lot of collar tabs and shoulder boards (FRG/BDR and GDR/DDR). Let me know if you are interested in these. I plan on eventually adding them here, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
References used include Harry Pugh’s German Airborne Insignia 1956-1992 (list as G-letter-number) and both volumes of Bragg and Turner Parachute Wings (listed as B&T number)
