         Rare post-war pair of rank insignia for an Air Force officer of the East German National People's Army (NVA) - Luftstreitkräfte (LSK).

Condition: Good.

        The Luftstreitkräfte (Air Forces) were the air arm of the National People's Army (Nationale Volksarmee - NVA) of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), established in 1956.

      The name "Luftstreitkräfte" was originally used for the air forces of the German Empire between 1910 and 1918, until the end of the First World War. In contrast, West Germany adopted the name "Luftwaffe", which had previously been used by the air force of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945.
