Fire-brigade (ie. 'Feuerwehr'-related-) armbadge (ie. arm-eagle) - being a scarcely encountered, regular-pattern- and/or woolen-based version that was intended for usage by a member serving within the: 'Feuerwehr Gensungen'

The attractive - and fairly large-sized arm-badge, sized: 10,2 x 9 cms. - is executed in bright-pink-toned linnen onto the typical , darker-blue-coloured 'Feuerwehr'-type woolen-based cloth and was (I deem) simly never used nor worn: it can easily be graded 'virtually mint ie. unissued'. It does show some minimal storage-age ie. staining but still retains great pronounced detail: the used machine-embroidery is simply stunning (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is not backed, something that is more often seen. Moreover, does it show some minimal glue-remains on its back simply caused by having glued into an album or scrapbook once (as can be noticed on the pictures). These unusal 'Feuerwehr'-related arm-eagles can also be encountered without having an embroidered town-name above the eagle: this is a 'named' version showing the specific town-embroidery that reads: 'Gensungen'. This example originates from a 'Musterbuch' (or: sample-book) that was period-compiled by the producing-company 'Offermann' as was based in the town of Ratingen. It should be noted that these neat 'Feuerwehr Ärmeladler' showing an additional towns'-designation can easily be graded 'fairly scarce'!
