Midwestern85 Posted February 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2021 Please forgive me as this is not my area of collecting, but I'd like to put some accurate notes together as to what these are. I've had these three insignia for 20+ years and the Edelweiss and chevron are Third Reich mountian troops and Hitler Youth, correct? Proper names and/or units? The "WA" I'm not so sure on. And of course- are they real or reproductions/fakes? None glow under a UV light. Any help is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Collector Posted February 1, 2021 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2021 The HJ is a dual patch. It served as Marine-HJ Rottenführer, and DJ-Hordenführer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwestern85 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted February 3, 2021 Thank you Jack! For the “WA”, I am unable to find anything related to Waffenamts. Maybe this isn’t even German/ Third Reich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Collector Posted February 15, 2021 Share #7 Posted February 15, 2021 I wonder if you post the WA patch in the British section...I have just seen something very similar that was described as a Brit qualification badge, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
