The shield used by the Dutch SS kriegsberichters if my memory serves right

[D Davies]

Thanks persoons for the info, we're these eventually replaced by the German made shields?.

Not completely. As some used Legioen Vlaanderen shields in the Langemarck division, its more whats at the moment is on top of the table. And for showing as something prestige (showing of in wich previous division they served in). But thats my opinion

Great piece of original insignia. Congratulations Dave!

Very esoteric. Thanks for sharing.

[D Davies]

I can understand that persoons,like being proud of the national colours when moved into a different division.
Thanks Charlie much appreciated,it definitely has a salty patina just how I like to see insignia. Christian I once asked about the greatcoat picture with the insignia in a old thread,I've just come across it while searching I'd forgotten all about it.
I wa assuming it could be worn by any Dutch trooper.
Esoteric is a good way to describe . Searching here and online I can't find any other examples and only found the images I've posted.
Does anyone have any examples or images to share?.
Cheers
Dave.
