Title Kriegsmarine NCO's sleeve patch - helmsman
Nationality German
Period c 1933-45
Sold

These oval badges were worn by NCOs and denoted their particular professional skill, in this case a helmsman. It would have been worn on the upper left arm.

It is machine embroidered yellow (perhaps a cotton/rayon mix as it has a sheen to it) on a navy blue wool broadcloth ground, with a cotton backing to the top and rayon mesh for the rest. It measures nearly 9cm long and is in ex-stores condition.

The dirk arrived this morning and I could not be happier with it! Excellent little piece, most unusual... I look forward to doing more business with you, as finance permits; rest assured you will be highly recommended to my collecting colleagues.
