Here is one from a series of photos well known to some members here. I have a few more on my home computer that I will add later. Thanks to Dimas for starting this thread. Thanks also to F-B for his valued partcipation.
A black tunic was sold recently by a California dealer with this arm badge on it. The photos were posted here and quickly removed by the seller. I assume it was sold. One of F-Bs photos is the man who wore it(I think).
The tunic (which wanted to be the most above, but was far from it....) in question was a total stinker which had been made from bits of the man's personnel file. The person was also the mayor or Kreisleiter of a Lower Bavarian municipality.

Thank you F-B for this clarification. The tunic had an odd early style numeric collar tab which did not match the period photo. Sta. 31 I believe. I now know why it dissappeared so quickly.

Thanks, dear colleague for your intervention. This man was a leading Swabian peasant official close to Darre as you can see. I cannot recall his name. Bob Coleman has much of his Nachlass.
Do allow me to fill in the blank: It's Alfred Arnold sr.

Re: SS- RuSHA insignia in period pictures
Interesting, the last picture show the member of II Totenkopf Wachsturmbann "Elbe" being worn Elbe cufftitle and R u S diamond over it. Is there are regulations or orders to use this diamond as a former member of RuSHA ? Also interesting what is the same regulations being wear the Lebensrune diamond?
Regards,

Re: SS- RuSHA insignia in period pictures
The insignia was worn by others in various echelons not strictly in the RuS HA. Mr. D'ALquen posted the regulation here a while back. I will let someone else find it.
Thanks to JHAM for his fine pictorial research.

In conjunction with the Rus-Hauptamtes diamond it is most likely that the Elbe title is being worn in its other role as an SS-Oberabschnitte cufftitle.
