Nice, WH (Heeres) so-called trade- and/or special career arm-patch as intended for a: 'Hufbeschlagmeister' (or farrier), being a nicely hand-embroidered variant on darker-green-coloured wool - overall nice condition!

This is a nice example of a WH (Heeres) so-called trade- and/or special career arm-patch as intended for a: 'Hufbeschlagmeister' (or farrier), being a nicely hand-embroidered variant on darker-green-coloured wool, in overall nice and IMO only minimally used ie. worn condition. The neat patch is executed on darker-green coloured wool and is (partly) additionally 'backed' with a piece of green-coloured linnen as is sometimes encountered: it does not show an added silver rim and was therefore intended for a non-qualified: 'Hufbeschlagmeister'. The patch shows some minimal staining IMO simply caused by decades of storage and/or minimal wear. It is void of an inked makers'-mark (ie. ink-stamp), something that is more often encountered. Simply a nice WH (Heeres) trade/specialist badge and most certainly one that is not that easily encountered!
