This item also changed hands for cash money, recently, a further sign that the SS regalia market is deep under mother earth, looking at the bottom of radishes to the general relief of all concerned.
Do let me express my deepest sympathy at your profound loss at this otherwise so joyous time.
You plainly have fallen victim to the cunning manipulations of a cynical few, who should recognize that all expertise is, in fact, but a form of fraud
and all you are doing, in fact, is giving a bunch of hungry moths an exotic all you can eat experience, while your children starve and your 401k goes unfunded.
The world is a cruel place. Just think of how moisture afflicts aluminum embroidery and leaves it a flaky, white ruin...?!
The Elmer Gantrys of foetid woolens have spoken. You can read it elsewhere in the digital firmament.
They too have drowned in the surf off the Santa Monica pier only then to reappear in the painted desert of Arizona, loaded with revelations about the cussedness of the regalia trade!
Foetid woolens and their snares and delusions....the pity of it all.

By the way, apropos all this worthless junk, I was re reading Angolia last night about Allgemeine SS insignia, and the book is filled with mistakes.
Not to mention Wim's point about how this widely read author boogers up the origins of the term "BeVo" and much, much more.
Question.. Do the roman numerals represent army group and standard numbers represent division? Sorry for such a basic question but my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Please re clip my pictures and ask me specifically, because the thing is hopelessly complex.
I'm sorry FB. I was referring to the most recent pictures.
This is Standarte 35 of the Allgemeine SS Kassell in Hessen, Nord Hessen, in fact, where I nearly died
trying to haul my bag up the ramp to get on the train to go to Hamburg a while back.

I will try to identify all these things for you.
The Standarte is usually shown on the collar, but can also be on the cuff, in the case of the commander. (see below.)
The Sturmband is often, prior to 1938 or so, with the colored border for the Sturmbann and the arabic numeral for the Sturm
The cuff titles with the roman numeral are, in the post 1937/8 form, for the staff of the Sturmbann.
Or they are for the Abschnitt, in some cases, as in this one.
Voila.
