SS Latvian Volunteer Sleeve Shield
Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.
Machine embroidered in cotton/rayon on a black wool base. This is a textbook, factory made shield, machine embroidered on a backing of typical black SS wool badge cloth. The backing fabric shows no mothing or other damage, and retains the original surface nap. The embroidery is tight, precise, and perfect, with a red and white shield emblazoned with the word “Latvija” in white thread. The original colors remain strong. The reverse of this Latvia SS Volunteer shield shows the expected off-white bobbin thread. Most surviving examples of this shield were removed from the SS clothing warehouse at the Dachau concentration camp in 1945. This example is typical of these Dachau finds, with no stitch holes or other traces of ever having been worn on a uniform sleeve.
