SS tab, Nordland or Charlemange?

[G43]

I have seen this same style tab in various places, but with different titles! I see it being attributed to soldiers of the Nordland divsion but on another site it is attributed to soldiers of the Charlemange division. Which one is it! Thanks

I thought Nordland was a sunwheel swastika.

Looks like a good Charlemagne tab to me, probably Dachau made

They were never issued apparently so they are a contentious issue

Here is a good one for comparison

Gunny, I have seen the sun wheel pattern you are talking about but I thought it may be a later pattern? Yes totenhead, it is a dachau made tab. The dealer wants $300 which I feel is a fair price.

For your interest

" The Jean d'Arc collar tab was intended to be the collar patch for the Charlemagne Division. However the veterans of the 1943 SS Sturmbrigade Frankreich rejected it as it was too "Catholic" or religious and wanted the SS runes to remain since for them, the SS runes signifies a common "European" bond (in the perspective of the Sturmbrigade French veterans)

The Celtic Cross was the 2nd design (I was informed that it was a "t" in a circle rather than an "x") to placate the Charlemagne troopers from the LVF faction, rather than the Sturmbrigade ones and one possible reason is that it was also considered as a pagan symbol as well as a religious symbol "
