“Patrol duty “...... Wondering if this is authentic, or collector fantasy piece added

The plate may have by some obscure chance been part of the Third Reich from something, but how it got on that 98/40 has nothing to do with the rifle.

If memory serves, the SS Streifendienst enforced discipline amongst SS men - mainly curfew patrols and things of that nature. I've seen gorgets bearing the title. But anyone can take a plate and tack it onto a stock. Smells fishy.c_8725.jpg

I don’t have one to look at but there were some brass fantasy pieces that came out of the 1960s and 70s that was touted as authentic SS folding knives. This looks like that might’ve been cut out from one of those handles
