Title SS-Vlaanderen cuff title
Nationality Belgian
Period c 1940
Sold

This unit was formed at the end of Sept. 1940 with 80 men enrolled in Antwerp and 50 in Ghent to help the occupying power administer the Flemish people. It remained fairly small because the bulk of its men transferred to fight in Waffen SS units in Russia, while veterans from the Russian front might resume service with the SS-Vlaanderen.

The principal unit link was with 'Germania' and later the Wiking Division

It is an RZM-style cuff title, with a seven-strand aluminium wire border and is one of the rarest of the Germanische SS cuff titles.

The condition is excellent for its age. It measures 24 inches overall and would stretch somewhat longer, but has been hemmed at the ends for wear on a tunic.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
