Title Unterscharfuhrer SD epaulettes, collar patch set
Nationality German
Period c 1939-45
Price £0.00
Sold

This pair is a clean example, probably ex-tailor's shop, of Sicherdienst NCO's insignia. These 'delightful' people were the security service of the SS, responsible for the foreign intelligence activities of the SS under Heidrich and also for his other more sombre business of execution squads in Eastern Europe and occupied Russia.

The Unterscharfuhrer was a grade of NCO roughly equivalent to our sergeant. The headquarters of this organisation was in the Prinz Albrecht Strasse, Berlin, much feared by anyone who fell into their hands.

The condition is superb, the toxic green of the underlay and the variegated bullion piping being the clue to what these are. The plain black collar patch was a mark of the SD. All other units of the SS had either the lightning bolts for insignia, or some other divisional badge.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
