Attractive, 'Sicherheits- u. Hilfsdienst (SHD)' armbadge (ie. 'Ärmelabzeichen') as executed in 'BeVo'-weave pattern, as was intended for an SHD-member who served within the: 'Entgiftungsdienst' (or: decontamination-service)

This is an attractive - and actually very scarcely encountered! - so-called: 'Sicherheits- u. Hilfsdienst'- (ie. 'SHD'-) armbadge (ie. 'Ärmelabzeichen') as was executed in neat 'BeVo'-weave pattern that was intended for an SHD-member who served within the: 'Entgiftungsdienst' (or: decontamination-service) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. The badge - which depicts a black-coloured and Gothic-styled: 'E'-character on a golden-yellow-coloured background - was introduced in late 1941 and was one of a series of (at least) six different such SHD-speciality- ie. trade-badges. These 'specialist'-badges were worn on the left upper-arm. The piece on offer here comes in a 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'- (and of course fully unconfectioned!), condition: it just shows some minimal storage-age only (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive arm-badge that was used by one of the more unknown TR-organisations!
