Title Kriegsmarine NCO's qualification badge for 1st mate
Nationality German
Period c 1933-45
Sold

This would appear to be a sleeve badge for wear on a summer white tunic or the naval summer blouse. The Deutsche Uniformen booklet, published by Moritz Ruhl in the period, describes this as a mate's badge ('maate').

It would appear to be badge of BeVo type construction, made of thin cotton and rayon. It is a bit crumpled and the edges are slightly frayed, especially the bottom edge.

Just to let you know the two propelling pencils, in the form of pistols, have just arrived in the condition you sent them. Thank you very much indeed for your excellent and prompt service, and I will keep a look out on your site for any other pencils you may have for sale in the future.
