Waffen-SS Uniform Insignia Question???
Evening all!! Just a quick thread, I have recently bought a real good top notch replica M42 Waffen-SS enlisted man's tunic, made with old wool, probably the closest i'd ever get to an original one! Its come with excellent replica insignia, aged, so it looks old, but one thing its missing is a decent top-notch Waffen SS Rottenfuhrer arm/sleeve patch ( has the rank stripes on the collar patch ) So just asking if there is anywhere that you guys can recommend, to where i may be able to get one. I've had one from Nicholas Morigi in the past, there ok, but that type of quality may not do the tunic i have the justice it deserves. I'll try and get a pic on the forum. Also a length of original Iron Cross 2nd class for the buttonhole wouldn't go a miss!!
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers all,

Nothing farby about that, it looks accurate for the period. Farby is when it's a swedish jacket, unconverted, with every badge you can imagine including thr RK on it. Unless you'd like to post some photos of your own kit for comparison, don't be so quick to judge others
By the same logic, none of us should be wearing the uniform or insignia either, as we have no right or entitlement to do so because we've "not earned it".

Well I agree with Paul if it's part of your impression ok but I don't think that people should just put badges rank etc on willi nilli... As for me I have the KVK2 ribbon, KM Artillery Badge, and my gefreiters cheveron on my tunic. All of these I earned through the unit. Has taken a year to earn these. All awards and rank has to be approved by our unit board.

Cant see how the awards are over the top. If its 1944, which is what most folks re-enact, then unless your only a teenager whos just arrived at the front, you should have seen quite a bit of the war. in fact you probably have seen about 5 years worth ( 5 times more than the 101st Airborne) and if you are still alive you are pretty well guaranteed a few awards. EK2 Branch aproprite assualt badge, black wound badge are pretty much a minimum, and you could very easily have a lot more.
