Slovakia already had its own combat formation that provided military support to the Germans during Operation Barbarossa so there was no reason for them to wear a national arm-shield. One of these formations being the famous Schnelle Division placed under German command….. more information can be found in my web page under Slovakian stamps:

There were however Slovakian volunteers that joined German para-military units such as the NSKK, Todt, etc. that wore German uniforms and could have probably wore their national arm-shield unfortunately I have not come across pictures illustrating Slovakians wearing such a shield.
