SOLD (nr) Unissued SS Bullion tab-Final Stage
$850.00
This SS Runic tabs are literally in the near final stage of completion, the last phase being trimming and affixing to the buckram backing. If for NCO use, they would receive no piping, but if for Officer use, they would be trimmed in the typical hollow core aluminum bullion twist. To me, it is fascinating to see items literally put down by the embroiderers as the allies advanced, leaving them on the tables and floor of this workshop. Here is the basic verbiage from the original listing: “This SS cloth lot is part of a greater trove of cloth insignia souvenired from a clothing works by PFC Robert B. Heller in 1945, as the war was coming to a close. The veteran’s full information, including amazing maps documenting his division’s battles, are included with this set. As a curator of SS artifacts, it is particularly amazing to find bullion SS runic collar tabs and a partial sheet of the rarest pattern sleeve-eagle known, in mid-stage construction. These are literally an educational and historic lot of items, that the veteran himself scooped from the shop-room tables as his unit moved through and occupied areas of France.” Literally these are pieces of history, and as SS cloth goes, I think only a very few advanced collections have ‘in process’ samples in their collection that inform cloth collectors of the “stages of work.” COA and documentation accompany.
