I have seen its twin sister down to the markings so my guess is that it's a Battle of the Bulge grab...Billbert

The Division was the only Waffen-SS unit to fight in the Arctic Circle when it was stationed in Finland and northern Russia between June and November 1941. It fought in Karelia until the Finnish armistice in September 1944 when it marched on foot 1,600 km through Finland and Norway. It arrived in Denmark in December and then transferred to western Germany. It fought in the Nordwind offensive in January 1945, where it suffered heavy losses. In early April 1945 the division was destroyed after several days of combat against the US 71st Infantry Division near Budingen, Germany.Comment

I've seen it, never seen markings like that- marking something for the entire division is utterly useless, original markings would have regiment/battalion, etc. IMHO It's just a BS stamp added to a common item to boost the value.
Also, Nord wasn't in the Bulge.Comment
