Neat, Police (ie. 'Polizei'/'Gendarmerie'-related-) armbadge (ie. arm-eagle) - being a scarcely encountered! - summer-tunic version, being a piece that was intended for a member within the: 'Polizei Wiesbaden'

The attractive - and fairly large-sized arm-badge, sized: 10,5 x 9,5 cms. - is executed on the typical summer-type 'Polizei'-type cloth (aka 'grünmellierte Stoff') and is nicely fortified with a linnen border as per regulation. The piece - that shows some minimal staining - is in a moderately used- and/or IMO tunic-removed condition and retains great detail. The used machine-embroidery is simply stunning. These unusal arm-eagles can also be encountered without having an embroidered town-name above the eagle: this is a 'named' version showing the specific town embroidery 'Wiesbaden'. It should be noted that these neat 'grünmellierter Polizei Ärmeladler' can easily be graded 'very scarce'.
