Here is my new edition,It's the only thing Mark left for me
.
Am i correct in thinking the tress is luftwaffe tress.I know some people don't like to see ss items in conjuction with luftwaffe tress.I'm not to bothered i have seen plenty of shoulder boards with such tress maybe it was a shortage of material as the war progressed.
It does seem to have been there a long time I don't think the soilder started out this rank you can see the stitch line under the tress from when it was sewn as a em,I'm guessing the tress was a promotion.
I hope you like it.
Cheers
Dave.
I thought i had better leave something for you mate , a nice tab , but i am not up on tresse so can't help you mate but sure someone will have the knowledge

Early in the period all arms used this type of tress, only later did the Heer change over to the diamond type, though I have to admit to not knowing how the sequence applies to the SS.

Jerry
Whatever
its just an opinion.

Just looking at some examples in the Beaver/Bando book Insignia and Artifacts of the Waffen SS and there is an example there that refers to ' ...the Luftwaffe style NCO tresse..'
