Infantry regiment N•2 "Maipo" collar tabs

Pair of 1960s collar tabs from Regimiento de Infantería N°2 Maipo, an original uniform insignia set tied to one of the traditional line infantry regiments of the Ejército de Chile, permanently garrisoned in the historic port city of Valparaíso. Period infantry collar devices from this era are increasingly scarce on the collector market, especially when preserved as matching pairs.

These tabs feature the classic bronze infantry branch insignia: a stahlhelm with two crossed bayonets, mounted on red cloth backing, the historic branch color of Chilean infantry. The emblem and overall aesthetic reflect the well-known Prussian-influenced design tradition present in Chilean Army uniforms and insignia throughout the mid-20th century.

Originally intended for dress or service uniforms, these collar tabs show correct 1960s-style construction and are ideal for regiment-focused collections, Chilean port-garrison unit themes, or period uniform restorations.
