Nordwest cuff title . fake?

[Winkelman]

Attachment 946438Here is an Abschnitt cuff title on a cuff, and it is mine, thanks to my fine colleague.

This one is also on a cuff , but unfortunately this tunic is not 100% complete ..

Abschnitt XXXXV for Strassburg / Strasbourg was as far as I know the very last SS district to be created =
not occupied , but > annexed < from France in 1940 , into actual Reichs territory .
Careful surgical incision revealed a paper tag inside of the CT , surprisingly of the rather high " F " category .

One more Roman numeral , but much lower - so the II could be for :

district number 2 = Chemnitz ,

but also for any member on the staff of a 2nd Sturmbann of any Standarte after 1937 .

Paper tag " B " sewn in , for the band itself + another " B " added for the minimal embroidery , these make perfect sense ..

An EMPTY cufftitle of 1936 ;

To me a cufftitle for the Sicherheitsdienst , or possibly a leftover sent to the Germanic SS in Holland to be worn like this .

BUT : it could also have been worn by a member of the staff of any Standarte . And then only from 1937 onwards .. ?

I'm trying to keep up , but during the period , people involved must also have had a hard time with all of these ( constantly changing ) regulations - the earlier colored borders must have been a bureaucrats dream .
