Superb - and exceedingly rarely found! - bluish-coloured and neatly BeVo-woven (I deem) breast-badge (ie. 'Hoheitsabzeichen') as was specifically intended for staff-members serving within the: 'Wasserstrassen-Luftschutzdienst'

This is a truly attractive - and with certainty exceedingly rarely found! - bluish-coloured and neatly BeVo-woven (I deem) breast-badge (ie. 'Hoheitsabzeichen') as was specifically intended for staff-members serving with the TR-period so-called: 'Wasserstrassen-Luftschutzdienst' and that comes in an overall nicely preserved- (albeit I deem moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. This obscure (Luftwaffe) related air-raid service was presumably founded in 1942 and made use of captured uniforms (ie. 'Beuteuniformen'): they, nevertheless, used a range of organisation-specific insignia such as the breast-badge (ie. 'Hoheitsabzeichen') as offered here. There is almost nothing known about this service (apart from some information that appeared in period-magazines such as: 'Uniformenmarkt'). The neat patch was recently uncovered in the USA where it was found together with the single collar-tab from the same organisation (which I offer under number #58449): both insignia-pieces most certainly belonged to the same member of the hardly known TR-period organisation. The badge measures approximately 9 x 5,5 cms. and is just a tiny bit stained ie. wrinkIed. I deem that this neat -and exceedingly rarely found! - 'Wasserstrassen-Luftschutzdienst'-breast-badge is priced according to its unmistaken rarity!
