I am looking for a decal of the 8th SS (or 7th SS) division emblem, approx. .3 X .3 inch (6mm X 6 mm). I've seen sheets with bunches of emblems but I need just one. Anybody have a spare? (It is for a 1/35 37 mm AT gun's shield. )

Sorry, can't help you with that decal, but maybe with this: unless you have a reference photo, the gun shield of the 37 mm Pak is an unlikely place for a divisional emblem. Those guns extremely relied on camouflage, since they would engage from relatively short ranges... cheers!

Tis true. No photos, that I've found. I'm using a little artistic license . Both units were primarily were anti partisan units. I figure they might have been a little less concerned with camo as intimidation by letting their opposition know who they were. 7th SS (Prinz Eugen) was in the Balkans and was heavily equipped with Czech weapons, a prime candidate for using the PaK 36t. Though they were fairly well mechanized. But light gun in heavily mountainous terrain .... The 8th SS (Florian Geyer) was in the Beloruss / Ukraine area. The Pak 36t was a cavalry gun and they were a cav unit ...... But I've not seen anything on the source of their weapons.
