Description

This is a truly attractive - not that easily found and I deem never used- nor tunic-attached! - example of a WH (Heeres) 'Armwinkel' (ie.: arm-chevron) as was executed on a typical, darker-green-coloured- and/or (smooth)woolen-based background as was intended for usage by a soldier with the - unusually encountered! - rank of an: 'Obergefreiter mit mehr als 6 Dienstjahren' (ie. senior-private having more than 6 service-years) and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem still 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. The chevron is neatly executed and shows a detailed, hand-embroidered- (and silver-coloured- and braid-based) 'star' whereunder a single-stripe of silverish-coloured- (ie. non-'sub-dued') and/or 'standard'-pattern NCO-braid can be observed. The patch was recently found at a private-household in Germany. The piece shows a black-coloured- and linnen-based addtional 'backing' as is more often observed (as can be seen on the pictures). It sounds maybe strange but these 'simple' Heeres-related rank-insignia are quite hard to encounter. Simply a very attractive - and actually unsually found! - WH-rank-badge that is I deem accordingly priced!
