Chris Boonzaier Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Does anyone have 1 or 2 really clear photos of the FW Skull being worn that I can use? I am looking for these for a project I am working one. If it is EK award day and the guy is wearing his EK... even better ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant 08 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Have seen a similar photo before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant 08 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I remember, the photo was sold with others. The description was a "Drogerist" (a guy who is working in a drugstore). Edited October 9, 2013 by Sergeant 08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Interesting. Great photo. But, in my opinion, an SS-TV medic, not a 'drogerist'. See the guy on the left here, with the SS runes badge ....................... a bona fide Concentration Camp medic. And see the similarity of badge weave between the runes and skulls insignia ..................... and the uniform white coat dress ..................... Sports runes (and sports skull) on the white coat. Runes for SS-VT and skulls for SS-TV. Just like the collars. In over 40 years, I have seen only 2 examples of these woven skulls ........................ Too rare for swimmers alone ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to see the whole photo? What makes us think they are SS? Are there uniformed guys as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion there were details in the other photos, that gave me the impression of a post war photo lot. But I did not save the other photos.

Chris Boonzaier Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Realistically, productions methods did not change in 1945. My sons swimming badges use the same process, although modern nylon material. I think a 1935 and 1950 badge are probably the same process and material?
