This was a common practice if you were a Junker on the Junkerschule.
It was also very common among danish volunteers after the disbandment of Freikorps Danmark as this cufftitle was written in as a honoury cufftitle.
It would then bee written as "berechttigt zum tragen des Traditionsstreifen "Freikorps Danmark"

Heres Another.
Wounded with Totenkopf on the Eastern front and then seconded to HD I suspect. It has appeared in a book but I disagree with the caption which stated he was HD who then joined Totenkopf. If one looks carefully his arm and leg are rather distorted and he is leaning on a walking stick. I am told it was quite normal for badly wounded Totenkopf men to be sent to the Danzig defence force. Allthough the wear of two titles was unofficial it seems that when it was done the wearers current unit took precedence and was therefore displayed above his previous title. It's a nice photo whatever.
