About this Piece

The Death's Head (skull with crossed bones) was the emblem of the SS from its early days and was worn as a uniform badge by various SS units. The badge on green cotton fabric is characteristic of the Waffen-SS field uniform – particularly for SS infantry and grenadier units. The green background distinguishes this piece from the black Death's Head badges of the early Allgemeine SS and is an important feature for attributing it to the Waffen-SS in World War II. Death's Head badges on green cotton fabric of this type are rare on the collector's market and highly sought after by SS and Waffen-SS specialist collectors. Also available: SS collar tab series (Item No. 33.719–33.721) and SS uniform eagle (Item No. 32.979).
