This is an attractive example of a Waffen-SS, Albanian 'volunteer'-arm-shield (ie. 'Ärmelschild') as was intended for usage by soldiers of the: '21. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS' named: 'Skanderbeg' (o. 'albanische Nr. 1') depicting the black-coloured, double-headed eagle on a bright-red-coloured background ie. national flag of Albania and that comes in a 'virtually mint'- (ie. 'unissued' and/or simply never tunic-attached-), condition: it does show some minimal fraying on the sides: moreover, has it once been glued into an album or scrapbook and does show some minimal carton- ie. glue-remains on its back (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 Albanian-related volunteer-armshield that is I deem accordingly priced!
