This is a neat example of a WH (Heeres) so-called: trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia (ie. 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen') as was specifically intended for an army: 'Hufbeschlagmeister' (or farrier) being a neatly hand-embroidered variant as executed on darker-green-coloured wool and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem simply never worn ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. The piece is neatly machine-embroidered on a field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based background and shows a (detailed and/or hand-embroidered, 'horseshoe'-sign as executed in bright-yellow-coloured linnen (as can be seen on the pictures). The patch shows an additional, greyish-toned 'backing' and shows a (vaguely present) inked makers'-designation-stamp on its back (as is more often encountered). Simply a nice occasion to acquire an attractive - and simply never used! - WH (Heeres) trade-/specialist-badge for a competitive price!
