SS Militaria Badges (M43)

Antique Rawkers · 06-23-2014, 04:29 AM

Hello there! I have acquired a few SS Militaria pieces that I need some help identifying please. The first is a set of 4 trapezoid eagle over cockade patches. The second is an iron cross pin with a name over the top, and the letters "C", "U", "E", and "S.S." on each of the four sides and "1904" in the center. This may be completely unrelated to the patches, but suggests that it's of the German SS times. Also, I have a large patch featuring a blue circle with either "XI" or "IX" in the middle. I am new to the world of WWII SS militaria.

Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!

Absolutely none of the items shown are Nazi SS related.

I suspect that the "S.S." may stand for "Sharp Shooter".

More like Sunday School - and it is NOT an Iron Cross.
Lol - the round patch is US Army 9th Corps.
Traps are fake IMO.

The red-on-blue patch is the shoulder sleeve insignia for the U.S. Army's IX Corps.

See: IX Corps (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edit: Steve outdrew me.
