Your comment struck me curious, what is the difference between and an "SS" chevron and an "Army" panzer chevron? I never realized there was an accepted difference. For my own part, I always believed there was no real way to tell. Both used black wool backing, and there are numerous examples of tresse (aluminum, grey, etc.) that were used by both...John

John;
I may be mistaken, but don't SS chevrons have a slight black thread running through them, similar to that of an Old Fighters chevron??? Here's a photo of the obverse of a tropical Rottenfuhrers chevron. Perhaps the black threads running through it denotes something else?Attached FilesBest regards,
Tony

Tony,
I am with John on the Panzer SS chevron discussion, I do not believe that you can be specific on whether a chevron is SS or PANZER I think they are interchangeable. I have attached a Sturman Chevron sewn to tunic(original to it not upgraded) which has army tresse on black. I once owned a Autumn pattern anorak with a mouse grey subdued tresse chevron sewn to the sleeve.
