Superb - and rarely found! - post-WWI-period- (ie. 'Freikorps'-related) arm-patch depicting a typical, early-period skull-device: 'Wehrwolf'

This is a very attractive - typical post WWI- (ie. pre-WWII-) period- (ie. 'Freikorps'-related) and truly rarely found! - arm-patch depicting a typical, early-period skull-device and that was as such (I deem) intended for usage by a member of the: 'Wehrwolf'-organisation and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit truly used- ie. worn-), condition. The patch - that was I deem awarded to the 'Wehrwolf'-members around 1919/1920 - is typical round-shaped and has an approximate diameter of 6,5 cms. and is executed in (typical) white-toned (and somewhat crudely-executed) machine-stitching (ie. 'Kurbelstickerei') in linnen onto a black-coloured background as to be expected. These insiginia were worn on the lower-arm and had to be tunic- or arm-band attached. The piece on offer here was clearly used and does show some obvious age, wear and/or staining as can be noticed on the pictures. This example originates from an older collection of interesting, pre-1933 insignia and badges that I recently acquired for the web-site. I deem that I did price this attractive: 'Freikorps'- ie. 'Wehrwolf'-related insignia-piece, accordingly!
