SS sleeve insignia question

[Calvin Hall]

Hello folks,

I was offered this pair of insignia, and it is out of an old collection. It was alledged that these are sleeve insignia for a certain SS volunteer unit.

Upon doing a bit of research I have learned that this shield is for the Ukranian volunteers in the German Army.

The design is printed on a cotton material. The border of the one shown is either a very dark green or black. The border of the one shown in the reference features a green border.

Anyone have an opinion on the authenticity of this piece? If real, what is it worth?

Thanks for the help.

some more info please

I would like to hear some more about these things as i have about 11 diferent ones that (as the so called letter of authenticity goes) were forund in roll's in april of 1945 near the Vlasov Army of National Liberation (AKA the Vlasov Volenteer army) Camp HQ.near Leipzig Germany. I was very and still am skeptical as to the authenticity but I got the whole pile for a nice price even if bad they look good on displayI will try to post a shot of the whole lott .

Have a look at my web-site re your shields. Even though not all of my shields are on the site yet I think I can help you both.
