FrontlineAntiques Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 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 Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontlineAntiques Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 The cloth is quite a heavy weave, and blacker than it appears in the photos. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 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. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Another possibility is the NSKK but not sure what it would signify in that case. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 i thought this was for an artillery sergeant's-major? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapten_windu Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 is it SS sleeve patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontlineAntiques Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
