nickn2...Many were made,,,but getting them to the soldiers was another issue.. Some say there were never any issued and some say they were issued but limited.. It could be like some of the other units,,,that is some were issued for the propaganda effect and just issued for photo taking sessions and that's it.. There is also cufftitles made and issued..

Surprisingly,being that the unit is late and very few and even less issued to wear they aren't worth mega money.. There are 100s of these in collections / circulation from the Dachau depot hoard.. It's a good find ,,sometimes you can get these for $200!

Thanks gaspare
nice photo

my wife wash this tab ,it was in my shirt pocket, so the hessian backing has come away from the black material can anyone tell me what glue to use to stick the two parts back together?

Go to one of your Antique restorers.
Animal origin glue they use (furniture,leather etc).Most case makers for instance make their own boiling it/using it on the work bench.Maybe even do it for you.

when it came out the wash the parts looked like 2 large balls of fluff but this morning they have taken up ,with the help of a book , their original shape
