What do their dress regulations say on how far down the arm in centimetres the eagle was worn ? Add to that how many cm below the eagle was the rank chevron sewn on ?
9th SS Uniform Requirements Quote:- The following are the wartime regulations for sewing on SS sleeve insignia: Sleeve eagle: 16cm down from the shoulder seam centered on the left arm. Rank chevrons or national shields (when worn in the early, upper-sleeve position) are to be placed 1.5cm below the sleeve eagle, centered. Kyle
Thanks Kyle. I did it by eye in the end after looking at loads of photos. Looks ok to me & matches up to those dimensions divided by 6.
Just added his EKII ribbon after son got figure dressed. Bit difficult to get real life fibres to bend as it they were 1/6th. Real life image to compare my best effort in 1/6th.
