Some things wrong with picture

• These are not Gestapo insignia as presented, they are SS (Gestapo was a branch of the SS post-1940 or so, but before that it was not SS).
• The eagle is facing the wrong direction. (my mistake)
• The black swastika in the wreath in historically inaccurate: the swastikas were raised (embossed), but not painted with any colors.
• The insignia—perhaps due to the shadowing provided by the photo enhancer—look like they may have been photographed from the reverse side.

Can a better photo of these insignia be provided? Jim_Lockhart 01:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
