Acqusition of SS patches and collar tabs

[dkelley]

Hi Everyone!

Attached are several items I acquired through a trade some time ago.

I would be very grateful if you would have a look at these to make sure they are good artefacts. Unfortunately through my reference books and the Internet, I have been unable to authenticate these items to satisfaction.

As always, your help is very appreciative and humbling.

Thanks,
Dan

P.S. By the way, I think the gas canister patch is reversed in the PICs.

The runic collar tab, Indian volunteer collar tab, and the SD sleeve diamonds are poet war. The other items are original.

I don't recall the Indian legion ever being issued Waffen SS uniforms. They were under the Waffen SS, but I highly doubt they were even issued their own collar tabs???

Insignia

Agree with Bob Hritz.

Now that is very interesting! I had no clue that they were in fact issued SS tabs as period photos prove, thanks so much for the link, Charles.

How do I delete THIS thread????? Tried to upload a PIC and got poor results.
