There's also one small hole near the cuff sleeve, but this is small and very minor. The cuff title appears machine-sewn and is in excellent condition. The epaulet / collar tabs and shoulder boards are also machine sewn and excellent. The left sleeve eagle patch is zig-zag machine sewn.

The 5th SS Panzer Division "Wiking" was one of the elite Panzer divisions of the thirty-eight Waffen-SS divisions of Nazi Germany during World War II. It was among the first divisions of the Waffen-SS to be formed, and its members were recruited from foreign volunteers, predominantly from Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and Belgium, under the command of German officers.
