I have promised to show some of my uniforms, but so far had no chance to take them out and photo, quite a lot time is needed for that 
Hope to do it soon 
But for now can show one single - but very interesting board The man graduated as an Artillery officer and most likely went to unit with Stugs. Such boards are very common... just like hens teeth 
The board itself is just an ordinary artillery, but the thing attached makes it VERY special!
By official regulations, tank men would wear skulls on special collar tabs /very similar to the German ones/. However the assault gun officers did not want to drop behind, after all their vehicler were almost tanks
, so they put skulls on their standart artillery tabs - though it was not in the regulations. But it was war, so such things were done fom time to time.
The mentioned Stug officer skulls on tabs are rare, but yet seen on photos from time to time. But most rare, some officers put skulls on their shoulder boards! Till now, I had never seen or heard of that, except for one single period photo that I found /but lost in the piles of my photos, trying to find i now
/. And now - this board appeared!! 
The skull is cast copy, probably from a German one. Obviously has been on that board forever.
