Dutch SS - Wolfshook

[Winkelman]

Just curious,
Was this wolfshook also used by Legion Niederlande soldiers on their collartab? I've seen pictures where some used a metal wolfshook but that was of a smaller size.

That would have to be a much smaller size wolfhook to fit a collar patch . A smaller version taken from e.g. an NSB capbadge would fit , but I have yet to see a single period picture where this was done .
Humping up a plain collar patch with a metal wolfhook however does happen , since it is so easily done & original embroidered vertical wolfhook tabs are very rare ..

Winkelman,
Thanks for the info. In another thread about new zealand pick-ups is a pic of a metal (copper) horizontal wolfshook on a collartab. Very nice and interesting!

Yes , but I think that is the German design , not the Dutch .

Here is the stickpin of the hook. Anyone see this one in wear?

Does anyone have any photos of the stickpin in wear? Thanks.

[Winkelman]

Actually not that easy since it would have to turn up on civilian wear , jacket or tie , just not that many good pictures around .
Here's the best I could find sofar ( wolfsangel with a circle around it ) .

Thanks for sharing Winkelman! Would these be considered rather rare or have you seen many of them over the years?

[Winkelman]

Rather rare sounds OK , harder to find than normal membership pins .
And like with most other things , they seem to be quite ordinary until you actually start looking for them ..
