C-427a Sleeve Shield for 13.Waffen Gebirgs
Division of the SS “Handschar” (Kroat. nr. 1)
Initially authorized for wear by an order dated April 30, 1943, it
was supposed to be worn on the center right sleeve. This was often ignored, and
its wear was more commonly seen on the left sleeve just below the sleeve eagle.
It depicts the Croatian National shield, in a white and red checkerboard
pattern, machine embroidered over a black wool background. This particular
example is in the less commonly found squared off top corner format, and is in
mint, unissued condition!
