    Some unknown insignia and checking on the rest.....

    I bought a bunch of junk and culled out the obvious repros and did a blacklight test to thin the herd further. Here is what I have to question as to what it is.
    The NSKK sleeve eagle, I believe to be a 100%. THe RZM paper tag separated from it as I picked it up, but it came with it. The collar tabs...I have no idea. The anchor? May be Kriegsmarine related, of course.

      Orange and blue tabs look like postal tabs. However, I thought they should have stars instead of pips.

          LW Admin low off'l/offz.... (Top right tab)

          Pre-42 Reichpost normall used the "Stars", but after under "SS" Cmnd. wear of regular pips was more common & wartime expident.

          ALL POSTSCHUTZ wore regular pips on thier tabs I believe, also!

                I don't know whether or not yours is authentic, but I remember reading that the NSKK eagle was made to face to the viewer's left for a short time prior to Hitler's decree regarding the Parteiadler versus Reichsadler. Please wait for confirmation from someone with more in-depth knowledge, though.

                  Check out the NSKK Cap with the eagle facing to the left (Post# 6) at the following while in many many many cases...the eagle faces right. Hmmmm
