Dear Ade:

I also notice there was a traditional badges that IR 17 were allow to wear, by the way nice collection!

Do you maybe know how was there performance during the war? I try to read the link that you provide, but it's in German, so it's a bit challenge for me.

Thanks so much

I don't know the value of the skull today, sorry. Mine was a kind gift from a friend and came from a former tailor's shop in Berlin.

Cheers, Ade.
