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

These oval badges were worn by NCOs and denoted their particular professional skill, in this case a mechanic. It would have been worn on the upper left arm. The mechanics would have been responsible for maintaining the basic mechanical/engineering elements on the ship.

It is machine embroidered yellow rayon (I think) on a navy blue wool broadcloth ground, with a cotton mesh backing. It measures just over 9cm long and is in ex-stores condition.

testimonials

I have in the last six months inherited my late father Alan Swain's police memorabilia collection along with much paperwork receipts etc. I would like to pass on to you my thanks for such good dealership with my father going back to the late 80s and well into the 1990s.
