SS insignia is a minefield because its highly sought after and always has been!
I have had 3 SS visors out of the woodwork that was a highlite!
The SS officers visor my dad bought for me from a guy! Came with a officers cuff tittle ReichFurung!
And a set of alum cast knuckle piece! It had Flossenburg on it!
Have to find the pics!
And Dachau insignia! Many vets brought that insignia home!
Now for over 50 yrs not much has come my way!
I have seen many unissue cufftitles come in to shows!
That tells you how tough real vet stuff is hard to find!
Demand is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like used stuff taken! Pakistan is making and fooling collectors for yrs!
Fact is many collectors have never seen the real stuff!
Anyone have something to show?
Some Dachau tabs!
Will find some armbands also!

in the 70s the Dachau depot stuff was everywhere at least up here in the Northeast.. No one was as interested in the foreign volunteer stuff and the arm shields went pretty inexpensive.. I had 2 complete sets..
I remember a couple dealers had the Police arm eagles by the bundle!
The SS runes, Skulls always went for the higher amounts.. Cufftitles too..... -The SS For. Vol. Collar tabs I remember some didn't even know what country they were too! The books also made a mistake or 2 back then with them.. Those too now all very desirable..
- Any photos of the knucks?

Hello Gaspare
I will try and find my pics! Misplaced them at the moment!
John
Some very nice and I bet hard to find titles!
Can't say I have seen many of them!
I bet you had to really look hard to get some!
Tell us why you like Norge and Legion areas!
Must be small numbers of members I would quess!
Where were some areas they are from?
Thanks for sharing!

Paul,
I collect German and Norwegian WWII items.
The cufftitles represent SS and Norwegian units serving in the war.
Probably my rarest cuff is the silk embroidered Den Norske Legion, one of 7 known to be in collection s, so I am told.
