Does anyone know if it was up to the individual officer if he wanted the double Totenkopf tabs or were there certain requirements that had to be met before they could be worn? Also, was it rare for an SS officer to wear this configuration?Comment

Collar Tabs
Double Collar Insignia:
Introduced approximatly October 1939. No individual choice in the matter. Wearing of double collar insignia revoked approximately May 1940. Dual insignia continued to be worn until late in the war.
Angolia. Cloth Insignia of the SS, page 275, 2nd edition.
You need to get some reference books or start doing diligent internet research. This information is readily available even for a novice.

Charles and Nooky the double tk's were also worn by other ranks and scharfuehrers, and I believe were more common than we think. SonnyComment

Could somebody post a pic of a real pair of mirrror skulls. These at the beggining of the thread are simply dreadfully bad. I am aware they were not posted as real, but they are hard on the eyes!
