EM- (ie. NCO-) type, so-called: 'Schutzmannschaften' (or: 'Schuma') cap-badge as executed in greyish-coloured thread onto a black-coloured- (ie. 'SS-Polizei'- ie. 'SD'-related-) background

This is an attractive - and actually as such scarcely encountered! - (I deem) enlisted-mens'- (ie. NCO-) type, so-called: 'Schutzmannschaften' (or: 'Schuma') cap-badge being an example as was executed in greyish-silver-coloured thread onto a black-coloured (and linnen-based) background and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem never used- ie. still 'virtually mint'-), condition. These neat cap-badges as executed in greyish-coloured thread onto a black-coloured- ie. 'SS-Polizei'- ie. 'SD'-type background and signified as such the close interrelation between the - notorious! - 'Schuma'-units and the German police (ie. 'Polizei') ie. Waffen-SS and/or SD-units. I personally think that this cap-badge was intended for enlisted-mens'- ie. NCO-usage: it was executed in the neat machine-woven pattern (almost certainly by the 'BeVo' company of Wuppertal). The neat piece was never trimmed- nor folded- or confectioned and just shows some minimal fraying on its top and/or bottom (as can be seen on the pictures). This particular example originates from a smaller 'SS/SD'-collection that was compiled over the years and that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive and scarcely encountered 'Ostvölker'-related cap-badge that is accordingly priced!
