S.S. F M cufflink ?

i have recently bought a cufflink its oval with the ss runes over a swastika on it with black enamel and the letters F M on each side but i cannot seem to find anything like it anywhere .. i know the F M stands for "Foerderndes Mitglied" who were people who backed the SS with money for protection but other than that i know nothing about it ... the has RZM on the back and L/17 and i have only ever seen one picture of them elsewhere and here is the link

The SS

anyone have any idea about this item or its rarity or any information.

thanks

What kind of Eagle is this Luft. Off. wearing?

I have never noticed a Luftwaffe Officer wearing an eagle on his upper left arm like the Waffen SS (and Hitler) did. Is that common?

Rzm m7/30

hi all , this knife has some issues which i`d like opinions on ! Firstly , the maker mark on the blade - notice where it says solingen , the en has been replaced with F11 , is this a pre `45 stamp or later ? Secondly , the shape and condition of the blade - i don`t know if this has been ground and chromed later or is this of later than period manufacture ? What do you think of the RZM marks ? The fittings are non magnetic which are plated and are showing wear . the grips look replaced and has steel rivets, but the lozenge looks fine and has a slight wiggle ! The scabbard is a nice original period piece . All comments welcome ! :)

cheers Al

Narva Cuff Title

On all the lists i have of official cuff titles i've never seen one to Bataillon Narva , the first Estonian Waffen SS Combat unit who fought with Wiking.

However this photo maybe suggests differently , anyone seen anything similar and what are your thoughts ??
