Looks like a good Dachau pirate trap as well

Yes cuff title is nice. If you can find out where the vet served and his name it would be great additional info and history to preserve.

The railroad patch is fine too but does not belong in the SS section.

Hi,

the "Dachau pirate trap" is the second item you posted with a death head.

You will probably get some MP for the cuff title... ^_^

Sincerely Yours,

The black trapezoid insignia with what's known as the Pirate skull, as found black panzer M43 caps with the bare cardboard underside visor of the type 'liberated' from the clothing depot of KL Dachau.
