No disappointment. You literally started the thread in the link provided with "Hello Experts!".

I love everyone that comes here for help, but then badmouths the very people who provide the input.

Back on topic - aren't the Camo colored TK skulls the ones that were only ordered for production for a very short time (adding to the scarcity)?

[90th Light]

I asked him and he did not. His opinion is that it's original fabric new made and the insignia was colored with a magic marker. That's why the green eagle looks darker in the center of the body. He's held a real one in his hand several times.

Magic marker is an interesting possibility.

However lets also not forget, difference in colour of the green eagle or any of the other SS insignia could also simply be differences in cameras and lighting when taking the pictures, plus difference in computer monitors when viewing.

Not to forget also slight differences in colour between different production runs or manufacturers.

One always has to hold an item in hand to really be able to judge the colour,

Camo Insignia

Hi Chris,

The three sets of camo insignia I have handled have all been the same green and brown color. They are quite unique in person and very uniform in design/color. I agree with you regarding viewing photos on-line and in books. I have seen the color of my skulls and Willi and Dave Delich's insignia look quite different in various photos. Dave's cap is a bit more faded/worn than Willi's.

I agree, the color for the green and brown insignias are really all one lookers.
