Heer Unknown Collar Tab

[FrontlineAntiques]

Hi Chaps

Picked this up this morning with a mixed collection of German items.

No ideas as to what it is - but it looks and feels good to me (with my very limited knowledge....)

Thanks

The cloth is quite a heavy weave, and blacker than it appears in the photos.

Any ideas?

Looks more like a sleeve diamond to me as opposed to a collar tab. I checked my SS ref assuming black for SS and could not find that exact one. But for Army/SS/Luftwaffe I found the same letter but on round trade patches and all signified an Artificer or Ordinance Technician (Feuerwerker). Hoping one of the other members will be able to either confirm or deny this and nail it down to service, although it seems the SS used more of the sleeve diamonds.

Anyhow that's my best guess... hope it helps.

Another possibility is the NSKK but not sure what it would signify in that case.

i thought this was for an artillery sergeant's-major?

[kapten_windu]

is it SS sleeve patch?

[FrontlineAntiques]

Hi Windu

It is indeed an SS Patch - probably a sleeve diamond for an artificier.

The next question is - what is the approximate value of such an item?

Thanks

Dan
