I recently bought a collection of a WW2 vet who also collected into the 1960s. Almost everything was good. There were a few unusual items. This shield was there , at first I thought it might be an old fake but in looking at I'm not so sure. Anyhow comments appreciated.

Good one

I think this one is OK.
The basic construction and materials look correct, but normally the shield is orange, not yellow as this one appears to be. I have 2 originals in my collection obtained in a veteran grouping that contained a high percentage of NSKK items. One of them is on a coarse orange cloth and the other is on a finer weave orange cloth.
By the way, it is for a Flemish (Belgian) volunteer in the NSKK, not a Dutch volunteer in the SS.

I don't think this has seen the light of day since about 1965.Comment

Indeed for volunteers from the Flemish part of Belgium who volunteered as truck drivers for the NSKK,
usually with orange backing, albeit the fact that yellow is a typical Flemish color...Comment

Looks like a nice variant. I have seen these on both wool and cotton cloth.Comment
