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.

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.
