Superb, WH (Heeres) trade- and/or special-career insignia, being a detailed- and/or neatly hand-embroidered example as executed on darker-green-coloured wool, as was intended for a: 'Steuermann' (ie. enigineer-boat-pilot or helmsman)

This is a very attractive example of a WH (Heeres) trade- and/or special-career insignia, being a very detailed- and/or neatly hand-embroidered example as was executed on darker-green-coloured wool, as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Steuermann' (ie. enigineer-boat-pilot or helmsman) being an example that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem simply never used- nor tunic-attached- ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. The patch is beautifully executed in somewhat shiny, silverish-coloured braid and is a superb example of the employed craftmenship of the days (as can be seen on the pictures). It is moreover nicely 'backed' with a piece of black-coloured linnen that is (as more often) void of a makers'-designation as can be seen on the pictures). The badge just shows some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by decades of storage. This is actually a scarcely encountered 'Pioniere'- (ie. engineers-) related patch, that is I deem very much underestimated by the collectors'-community. Simply a very attractive example of this desirable 'Sturm-Pioniere'-related arm-patch!
