    Default SS-Rauten NSKK

    I have a question regarding this SS-Rauten to the NSKK . I've seen NSKK diamonds that look similar but they seem to be thin single layer material , this example is folded over on the back with a piece of wool inside as filler . So what is the difference between NSKK and SS diamonds ? Thank you for your time .

    There is no difference. The same driver's badge was worn by the SS, NSKK and Motor SA. There is an early and later pattern worn by all.

    Thank you for you reply Bob , so they never made them in (Grundtuch) or heavy wool , like the other Rauten were ?
    Also was the earlier pattern you refer too , the type with the metal wheel on a cloth diamond ?
    Thanks again for the information .

    I have only seen this flatwire version with blue-colored ( NSKK ) labels , never black ( SS ) ones .
    I think only the early ( metal wheel on wool ) may actually have been worn by the SS , but I would still like to see a period picture of one in wear ..

    I have seen the flatware on a black tunic , that I believe was original to the tunic .
    It may have been posted here somewhere . But nothing beats a period photo .

    Also Friedrich-Berthold has posted a photo of the Delich Collection , with the same example

    Then again , what could this one be on the far right .. ?
    A plain 8-spoked wheel seems even less likely than the NSKK Raute , it appears to be silver-piped as well .
    Maybe it is the " Polizei " one .. ?
    So many different diamond-shaped SS sleeve insignia were designed / made at the time , but so very few seem to have been worn .. !

    It sure looks like the Black /Aluminum piping , shown in Cloth Insignia of the SS . Fegelein's driver maybe ?

    After reading through the threads and links , I take the view that it an NSKK insignia used by the SS .
    Thanks again for the help
