SS Nederland collar tab

[Winkelman]

Better pictures are hopefully underway - meanwhile , here's some comparison to Dutch embroidery " Wolfsangel " on the sleeve triangles for Dutch / Germanic SS . Even these 2 differ . The Officers one is obviously of higher quality ..
Max , thank you very much for showing your collar tab , IMHO a great likeness to " mine " .. !
Last ( vertical ) tab shown by Oberbootsmann appears to have that same twinkly thread used as the very first one .

I agree on that with you. So I'll let them go both.

Thanks again.

Well , it took a bit longer than expected , but now that I have the tab in hand ( on loan ) , here are some more pictures .
Again , please consider that this is not your standard German-made RZM manufacture - so far the one shown by Sagittario is the first one I've seen that is similar ..

The Wolfsangel has a U.V.-negative Unterlage and seems properly aged ..

[Winkelman]

Reverse - the silver piping is attached in a very regular & tight way , which I'd like to think is a good sign .

[Winkelman]

One more of the reverse . Should anyone else own a similar tab with provenace ( or know it to be a repro ) , please let me know , thanks ..

Dear All,

Here is mine.

I will try to make better pics this weekend.

IMHO original Dutch made.

Best regards,

Rene

Winkelman I like it and do not see a problem with it.

Many thanks for all comments so far - here's the EM version from the same collection .
Not much reference to go on this one either - but it surely is not a Reisenhaft / Delta repro ..

[Winkelman]

Reverse shows holes from being pinned to a board . Again all comments welcome ..

Now let's get this one back on the road again - I now have the matching rank tab - a perfect match , thick wool , with the exact same buckram on the reverse .
Like on the Wolfsangel tab , relatively excess wool was used on the reverse , here folded behind a prong ( right side ) , I'm not planning on folding it back ..

Together ..

Time to look at the front of the rank tab - a different type of LITZE was used for the promotion to Hauptsturmführer .
Fortunately , both are period types .
Best part yet to come ..

[Winkelman]

There were shoulderboards - Hauptsturmführer Arzt ..

[Winkelman]

Closeup - the rank of officer was automattically acquired when appointed as ARZT .
And the BEST part is still to come .. !
