Excellent stuff from everyone concerned on this, most helpful. (maybe Glenn J knows his fate Johnny?)

Now were getting somewhere, any chance of a scan at all? I would think it was unofficial because the other Italian tab was the fasces. Thanks to all for the help, it's appreciated.

Thanks for the replies chaps, I did notice the pocket flaps myself and wondered if they were Italian but I thought it was only tropical uniforms that were made out of surplus desert stock, this one looks woollen, but if that's what happened in the 40's well so be it. Can't see it being impossible mind you. Really would like to place that collar tab though, still a bit confused with the runes on the helmet.

Thanks for the reply, that was my first thought as well however the Falangist emblem was slightly different with 5 arrows and no sunwheel. Having said that, would this mean it was an official SS tab? What I mean is, is this what they would allow Spaniards to wear who were employed by the wehrmacht? (So were the Blue Division attached in any way to any Deutsch service?, or were they their own entity?) And Spanish volunteers in heer uniform and SS? I'm getting confused now. Oh dear, isn't this collecting lark a bit much at times?

[attachmentid=60742]Can anyone identify this collar tab for me please? In fact any information about the picture in general would be helpful, judging by the tab and tunic, it must be a foreign volunteer, but if that's the case surely the runes wouldn't be on the helmet. Thanks for any help.
