Gentlemen,
SS Uniforms is not my main area of focus when talking about WW2, I am putting together a reproduction uniform and I wanted to do an NCO that would have been in the Spiess postilion. I can find plenty of photos of them in on the Heer side of the world but in searching yahoo/google and this forum it is hard to find photographic evidence of the Spiess wearing the "piston rings" on the sleeves. The only photos I was able to find I have below, they are not my own just from other threads here in on this forum.
So my question is, are these photos "rare" in the sense that it was not common practice in the Waffen SS to wear the spiess rings? Or did they do it and for some reason its just been hard to find? If anyone has any answers to this or any other photos to back it up I'd love to see them. The only other common theme I see with this also is that no one is wearing cuff titles?
