This is version of the Model 1943 field cap insignia; these one-piece insignia were made in a machine woven (BeVo) style, in variety of shades of silver or pearl grey, on artificial silk or rayon; this is a version for Waffen-SS Panzer Cap on black background, uncut example, unworn, in mint condition.
In 1944, a one-piece cap insignia with both the death’s head and eagle insignia was introduced for wear on the M43 cap. These trapezoidal shaped pieces of cloth were originally machine woven, but in late 1944 an embroidered version was introduced to save material.
Initially they featured a skull with two rows of teeth, but this was eventually changed to a skull with only one row of teeth.
The cloth base was in field-grey or green, but insignia for Panzer units were manufactured with a black base to match the Panzer caps.
The trapezoid insignia was either cotton thread embroidered on wool or BEVO machine-woven.
