This site is fairly good if you are looking for (Name/Date/Unit) infomation.
SS Cuff Title Identification Gallery
Ah , yes the magical GDC / German Daggers gallery .. Like so many others , it is a tool not to be used lightly .. !
It is IMHO a dangerous mix of the very rarest of cufftitles , combined with fakes , photoshopped items ( Reichsschule SS ) , spelling errors ( Musikschule Baunschweig / Heimmehr Danzig ?! ) & total utter fantasy ( Legioen Nederland / Germaansche SS Nederland ) ..
I did not comment on authenticity i merely stated that site provided some information which may help this young man.
Yeah, i see KM's point. He was just shooting a general reference. NO harm no foul

*) Some unauthorized wear of the A-SS cuff title for Oberabschnitt "Nord" occurred. Two of the division's SS-Gebirgsjäger regiments were authorized cuff titles, though: the 11th ("Reinhard Heydrich") and 12th ("Michael Gaißmair") .
**) Some wear of an unofficial "Estland" cuff title occurred. At least some of these cuff titles were manufactured by modifying "Westland" cuff titles.
