Description
Early example of a period worn bullion RZM pattern cufftitle worn by members of the SS-Standarte 2 of the SS-Verfügungstruppe Germania. The hand embroidered metalic gothic embroidery is tight and has very nice detail, the cuff is still attached on both ends and also has the original RZM tag attached on the inside. Fantastic piece of early SS insignia!
Note – In August 1934, the SS-Standarte 2 of the SS-Verfügungstruppe was formed. At the 1936 Nürenberg Rally, the SS-Standarte 2 was officialy granted the honor title “Germania” where it received the unit colors and authority to wear the cuff title bearing the unit title. In November 1940, the Germania Standarte was transferred to form the nucleus of the motorise SS-Division “Germania.” By January 1941, the name was effectively changed to the motorise SS-Division “Wiking.”
