Description
23. SS-Freiwilligen Panzer Grenadier-Division "Nederland" (Niederlandische NR.1) Collar Tab (Kragenpatte).
In July 1941 the Germans began formation of the SS-Freiwilligen-Verband-Niederlande, (SS Volunteer Unit Netherlands), which was renamed, SS-Freiwilligen-Legion-Niederlande in August of that year.
On May 20th 1943 the SS-Freiwilligen-Legion-Niederlande was disbanded and its personnel were utilized to form the 4. SS-Freiwillingen-Panzer-Grenadier-Brigade "Nederland" in October of that year which would eventually evolve into the 23.SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division "Nederland" (niederlandische Nr.1).
Originally personnel of the SS-Freiwilligen-Verband-Niederlande wore the standard SS runic collar tab on the right hand side of the uniform until the autumn of 1941 when a vertical Wolfsangel, (Wolves Hook), was introduced.
On November 11th 1941 the Germans produced a horizontal Wolfsangel collar tab to replace the vertical pattern.
Second pattern, German manufactured, right hand side black wool construction collar tab with machine woven, horizontally positioned "Wolfsangel", (Wolf Hook), in silver/grey threads.
The collar tab is mounted on a tan buckram backing.
Visible losses in the material (damage).
