Title NSKK driver's sleeve insignia, 1st pattern
Nationality German
Period mid-1930s
Sold

The NSKK were the motorised units of the SA, using trucks, motorcycles and sidecar motorcycles. They were used principally in the run-up to the war as a miiltary driving school to prepare young men for service with the forces. They wer also used in the pre-war period to move SA units rapidly around Germany when the Reds needed discomforting!

It is in the form of a rayon diamond with a machine woven aluminium braid eagle within a truck wheel and was worn on the lower left sleeve. This has been worn, but it is in good shape for its age. There are some glue marks on the back where it has perhaps been stuck on a board at some stage.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
