Title Marine artillery gun layer's sleeve badge
Nationality German
Period c 1930-45
Sold

This rather splendid looking badge would have been worn by an able or leading seaman working the shipboard flak defences. It would have been worn on the upper left sleeve of the naval uniform. The device is machine woven in bright red rayon against a wool background with a fine mesh backing.

It measures just over 9cm high and may be an ex-stores piece, as there is very little sign of wear.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
