Unusual - and actually scarcely seen! - example of a TR-period visor-cap-insignia-piece as was specifically intended for usage by the various officials serving within: 'Deutsche Post Osten'-organisation

This is an attractive - and with certainty scarcely encountered! - silverish-grey-coloured (and typical zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based) example of a Third Reich-period visor-cap-insignia-piece (ie. 'Abzeichen für den Schirmmütze') as was specifically intended for usage by the various officials serving within: 'Deutsche Post Osten'-organisation and that comes in a just moderately used- and/or I deem worn, condition. These interesting cap-badges were intended for usage by staff-members (ie. officers) tasked with postal-control duties at the front and were worn onto the specific visor-caps as used by this organisation (as can be noticed on the pictures). The fairly large-sized cap-badge measures approximately 7 cms. In height and is 5 cms. wide and shows an illustration of oakleaves, 'blitzes' and a postal bugle. The badge is totally void of a makers'-designation and is just a tiny bit stained: all its period prongs are present and in place. This obscure - and with certainty small-sized! - TR-organisation: 'Deutsche Post Osten' fell under the direction of the 'Deutsche Reichspost' and was instituted by a specific order (ie. 'Erlass') as was issued by the responsible 'Reichsminister' named Richard Ohnesorge on 16 August 1942. There is regrettably not much reference-material available on this subject. This example originates from a larger-sized collection that was compiled over many years and that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty scarcely encountered! - 'Deutsche Post Osten'-related visor-cap insignia that is with certainty accordingly priced!
