Just a thought.
The Wehrwolf Schwarze Brigade Sachsen (c. 300 men) existed for only a few months mid-1933. Members were staunch supporters of the NSDAP and this was the only Wehrwolf unit to wear swastika armbands instead of Wwolf armbands.
When 'Der Wehrwolf' as a whole was dissolved, most members went into the SA. However, Schwarze Brigade men went into the SS.
The black Wehrwolf peaked cap dated from 1927 ............... and was later copied by the SS to replace their kepi.
So, I wonder if the skulls on these Schwarze Brigade Sachsen cuff titles could have been the inspiration for the M35 collar patch, which existed for only a year or so before it was replaced by the more detailed and well-known SS-TK collar patch ??
Oooh!! I really know nothing about the originality of these pieces other than what period they represent. What wonderful early Reich tabs! You chaps have some great history there and rare as hens teeth!! I will stick to simple helmets! Leon.
Leon.
Just for you !
OH ho!! And just look at that Weimar style cap with a TK in that image too!!
Great stuff!! Leon.
Incredible Robin. After all those years, The grail has finally landed. Although in my opinion, you have more of them haha! No doubt that this design of skull from the "Schwarze Brigade" was used for the early tabs in the "Schutzstaffel". Congrats and best regards,

By the way Robin. I have a hard back copy of your TR awards book from about 30 years ago! One of the first books I ever bought on the subject as a teenager!! Leon.Leon.
Just for you !
Thanks Leon. That was the last book I ever wrote, and now I'm so old I can hardly even remember writing it !!
