    SS arm diamond

    Here's something I bought last year. It's a SS arm diamond worn on the sleeve of the black uniform of the algemeine SS in Flandern, Holland and Norge (if I remember it ok)...

    It seems it's made of black wool, silver runes on a green cloth background. There is no RZM paper on the reverse but under the edges there are some glue remains visible.

    The pictures shows a kind of a pattern on the black wool but when you look at it it's very thick woven and shows no real pattern.

    Before anyone asks... NO glowing under blacklight. I burned a small piece of thread and it passed the burntest (no melting... it just burned slowly away).

    Could some one comment on the rarity/value of this item ?

    Kris.

          These are indeed rare and the last one I recall being sold went in the area of $650 USD. Rarity does not always translate into big dollars as demand has more to do with that than anything.
          Best regards,

            They are quite rare, I was lucky enough to get this one 20 years ago with a small collection I bought,

                I believe they were worn on the left breast pocket , just like the police rune, which showed SS mebership,n in this case to signify German Nationality in the non-German General SS

                    DaveJ,
                    these rautes were worn on the wearer's arm on the black uniform,

                    Terry K,
                    the fencing runes is a different type of badge, machine embroidered and a different size hope the info helps,
                    cheers,
                    Gary
