WWII KUBAN CAMPAIGN SHIELD
'Kuban' campaign-shield on field-grey - used & uniform-removed but very nice condition! This is a very nice example of the WH (Heer or Waffen-SS) 'Kuban' campaign shield on field-grey cloth. The shield is complete with its metal back-plate and 4 untouched prongs. This one has truly stunning detail and has clearly been on a uniform at one time. They are actually quite scarce! A very nice & original example!

It is a one-sided flag, having a large white round field with printed black swastika sewn to the fabric. This flag measures 28 x 38. There is a grommet in each of the corners for tie-down. Back is dirty and front has small stain.
WWII GERMAN OFFICERS VISOR CAP WREATH & COCKADE
Nice quality, second pattern, (circa 1935-1945), hand embroidered, opened topped, oak-leave wreath with six, small, acorns in bright, silver/aluminum wire threads with silvery/grey rayon accent threads, flanking a highly vaunted, three piece, national tri-color cockade all mounted on a cut-out, padded, blue/green badge cloth base with price tag to the back.
WWII GERMAN / ITALIAN MEDAL BAR
Odd bar with device to top. The device is known as an RSI Badge (Republica Sociale Italiana). It is classified as a sympathy badge Italians could wear to show their support for Mussolini's new Fascist state (nazi-puppet state) formed in 1943. What it is doing on a medal bar is anybody's guess, but the wearer apparently wanted to show that he was a fascist supporter. This bar is questionable as to when it was assembled.

BeVo, machine woven skull and cross bones in golden/tan rayon threads with black accent threads on a woven, black, rayon base.
