Superb - I deem 'variant'-pattern! - 'Postschutz'-arm-badge (ie. arm-eagle) being a piece as executed in the 'BeVo'-weave-pattern onto a black-coloured background and that comes in a moderately used- (ie. clearly tunic-removed-), condition
The attractive - I deem 'variant'-pattern and actually by me never before encountered! - arm-badge (ie. 'Ärmelabzeichen' or arm-eagle) being a neat example that is executed in white-coloured linnen onto a (unusually!) black-coloured background and which is executed in the neat 'BeVo'-weave-pattern - was clearly issued and once tunic-attached: it was neatly pre-folded- and/or fine-trimmed (and was I deem once tunic-attached by means of machine-stitching) and comes in a carefully tunic-removed condition (it still shows some minimal thread- ie. stitching-remains (as can be noticed on the pictures). The 'Postschutz'-organisation (which can literally be translated as 'postal security-service') is one of the more obscure, smaller-sized TR-era organisations that fell under the jurisdiction of the SS and about which little is known to date: its 'political'- (ie. police-related-) nature is also underlined by the left-facing eagle. I have seen similar pieces also having a bright-orange-coloured (interwoven) border, something that can be looked-up in the archive-section of my web-site: this example does not show this border and is unusually woven onto a black- (and NOT greyish-!) coloured 'background' (something that might deal with the function ie. rank of the official). It should be noted that these attractive 'Postschutz'-arm-eagles can easily be graded 'fairly rare' even more so when they are of a 'variant'-pattern as the specimen on offer here!
