Wanting to show a blank SD tab that I just obtained. (Ebay offer with no competing bids...so opening bid was sufficient)
Technically its not SD as titled, as the RZM tag is light blue. (as opposed to SS black with runes symbol)
This would mean its intended actually for the NSKK (or SA....both used light blue RZM tags if I'm not mistaken).
A third Reich era tailor would not pay much attention to the color coding on these RZM tags and such a tag could have easily ended up on a Waffen SS or SD uniform (instead of SA or NSKK) I would think so I placed it in this section!
Of course both SS foreign volunteers and NSKK foreign volunteers often wore blank right collar tabs.
Too bad somebody wrote modern markings (note numerals) on the tab.... obtained in 2003???
The story is that it came from a (now defunct) museum...So perhaps its a museum inventory number?
but no sane museum conservator would deface an object like that with a marker I would think!
Hope you like it!
