WH (Heeres) so-called: trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia as was intended for a: 'Festungspionier-Feldwebel' (being a neatly machine-embroidered 'variant' as mounted on field-grey-coloured wool)

This is a truly attractive - and actually rarely encountered! - example of a WH (Heeres) so-called: trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia (or: 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen') as was specifically intended for an army: 'Festungspionier-Feldwebel' (or: fortification-construction NCO ie. sergeant) and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem never worn- nor tunic-attached-) condition. The neat patch is executed on a field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based background and shows the (detailed and/or neatly machine-embroidered) 'FP'-characters as executed in bright-yellow-coloured linnen. The non-marker-marked patch is void of an additional 'backing' and just shows some minimal staining simply caused by decades of storage only. This is actually the later (ie. replacement) version for the early-pattern badge (that read: 'FB' or: 'Festungsbaufeldwebel'). This particular example originated from a larger cloth- and/or shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive WH (Heeres) trade-/specialist-badge: one the of hardest examples of the extensive series to encounter!
