This is an attractive - and simply never used! - example of a Waffen-SS, Latvian 'volunteer'-arm-shield (ie. 'Ärmelschild') as was intended for usage by soldiers of the: '15. o. 19. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS' (ie. 'lettische nr. 1 o. 2') depicting the bright-red-coloured- and white-striped shield and depicting the white-colooured (German) text: 'Latvija' and that comes in a 'virtually mint'- (ie. 'unissued' and/or never tunic-attached-), condition: it does show some minimal fraying on the sides (as can be seen on the pictures). The shield retains very vivid colours and is of the later (1943/1944-period-) type and originated with certainty from the Dachau clothing-depots and originates from the USA where it was stored for decades as a so-called: 'veteran bring-back'-item. Simply a nice occasion to acquire a 100% guaranteed original Latvian-related volunteer-armshield that is accordingly priced!
