WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen in Stoff' (or: cloth-based paratroopers'-jump-badge) being a nicely machine-embroidered specimen that comes in a probably issued albeit (I deem) never used- ie. 'virtually mint', condition

This a neat - albeit regrettably somewhat moth-damaged but nevertheless not that easily encountered! - so-called: WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen in Stoff' (or: cloth-based paratroopers'-jump-badge) being a nicely machine-embroidered specimen that comes in presumably issued but (I deem) simply never used- nor worn- ie. tunic-attached, condition. The piece is neatly machine-embroidered in multi-coloured- (and/or linnen-based) thread and does show some obvious moth-damage (on the outer-rim only). This particular example shows great pronounced detail in order to closely resemble its metal-based counterparts. This example - which is void of an additional 'backing' - was stored as such for years by the veteran to whom it was issued. These cloth-based versions were preferred by the soldiers, NCOs and/or officers 'stationed in the field' for obvious reasons. Simply an attractive and fully 'text-book' example of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen in Stoff' that is priced according to its minimally moth damaged condition!
