Flemish Legion Arm Shield

[David Warren]

I had this posted with an edelweiss earlier because I did not know what it was. I think it should have its own discussion thread.

I am happy to come in possession of this wonderful example of an early Flemish Legion arm shield. It was part of an older collection, mostly US military patches, I just purchased today.
I would appreciate someone posting a photo of one in your collection because this is the first I have seen in person.
I did locate some good information at this web site: http://axis101.bizland.com/WaffenSS2.htm
Thanks, David

I sold it this morning on the E-Stand insignia table. Like the movie title, it was "Gone In 30 Seconds".
