Great shield Tom! Is it worn?

Thanks Askold. It is a little frayed at the edges ( a bit like its owner) but doesn't appear to be worn.

Can any of our Flemish colleagues identify this picture? It's clearly postwar and I think translates as "The occasion of the 25th anniversary of the East Front Community/Comrades"

It is sealed in a framed which i don't want to remove so apologies for the poor quality of the picture.

best

Coming to my collection (I am very happy)

Nice wedding picture. Congrats!
Based on the medals (anschluss and service years medals it appears) I say he is most likely a German cadre member NCO of Langemarck,
not a Flemish Volunteer.
German nationals in such legions often wore foreign volunteer nationality shields (like a flemish one) to show kinship to the unit that they were assigned to at the time.
Another example: many images of Germans in Handschar wearing Croatian shields (form of unit identity)

He could also be detached to the SS-Infanterie-Regiment ‘Langemarck’/SS-Panzer-Division ‘Das Reich’.<O</O
