    The SS-Gebirgsjäger Regiment 11 "Reinhard Heydrich", 6th SS Mountain Division "Nord" wore Totenkopf collar tabs.
    These men who came from the SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 6 which was based in Prague, were sent to Norway for occupation duty
    wearing their Deathshead collar patches and were absorbed in SS Gebirgs Div "Nord". The "Reinhard Heydrich" cuff title created
    of course in honor of the slain officer and bestowed to this Regiment because of their ties with Prague.
    None of this matches the owner tag info of course ...so its probably put together and the shoulder strap green farbe is too light for WSS-GJ...

    No. RH did not wear TK tabs. Early KG Nord elements (SS GJR 6 and 7) did, but that stopped around 42. When it was known as RH, I have yet to see any TK tabs; maybe 1 in hundreds of photos.

    But regardless, this piece is still bad
    True it was probably "pre Reinhard Heidrich Regiment" so early Nord elements.... so it would have to be on an earlier M36 or M40 pleated pockets tunic to be correct for SS GJ...
    but NCO's from early Nord sometimes kept their TK tabs (on later uniforms) as this photo shows (NCO in center with M42 tunic with TK tab) but yes 1 in a hundred photos! I agree!
