    Camo sleeve rank

    I recently aquired a pair of green ribbon type (not printed) sleeve rank bars for a Oberscharfuhrer. They are affixed to a black felt backing. Are they suppose to have the backing or sewn directly to the uniform and both sleeves? Also if you can point me in the direction of other sites where I can view more examples/info. I am also looking for pics of camo clothing with the rank attached. Thanks

    Hi,

    yes there are printed and embroidered versions and variations among these versions. It was meant to be worn on the left upper sleeve, though period pictures show Wassen SS troops wearing that insignia on both sides of the sleeves. The patch you describe is the "later" version, early in the war they used white stripes and another systems. The later version is also the version that was worn by both, the army and waffen ss. The patch was simply sewn to the item.

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers

    Fritz

          and the lowwer ranks,

          still need some of the ems, if anyone has spares ,
          the backing material was a zelt that got too close to a closet lamp, and almost burnt a guys house down, so I used the remains for this display

            Hi Tony,

            Here are some embroidered examples which I sold to a fellow forum member 3 months ago, AND STILL HAVEN'T BEEN PAID!

            I hope the photos help,

            Yours, Guy.

                      Very nice Guy! Emboidered rank is extremely handsome in my opinion. You should get paid right away or get the rank returned, I imagine many members would like a chance at these.

                      Regards,
                      John

                        Guy,
                        I agree with Johns comments above, 3 month's

                        Although having said that i am waiting for a refund from a US forum member here and on GD who owes me $200.00 been 3 years now !

                        Hope it works out Guy and thanks for sharing the items

                        cheers

                          Thanks guys, I'me glad you like them.

                          The person in question is known for this type of behaviour apparently (but I didn't find that out till after he knocked me). I suppose I should have had an inkling as he put aside a pair of SS panzer trousers with me and shook on the deal. Then 3 months later when he was supposed to pay me he reneged and bought a pair from someone else. Unfortunately as we know the field of SS collecting is rife with these sorts of sado's. Champagne taste, brown ale money I think they call it.

                          Anyway I shall now instigate proceedings to get these back and if I do will offer them here. Last thing I heard payment had gone missing in the post .

                          Thanks again for your kind words chaps.

                          Yours, Guy.

                            Thanks Guy, the first pic you posted (green ribbon) is the same type as mine but for Oberscharfuhrer. So they were manufactured onto the black felt/wool backing?

                              Tony,
                              the examples GUY has shown above are on a woven wool backing
