WH (Heeres) hand-embroidered trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia: 'geprüfter Wallmeister' (having a silver 'Kordel' attached)

This is a truly attractive - and with certainty scarcely encountered! - example of a WH (Heeres) so-called: trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia (or: 'Laufbahn- o. Tätigkeitsabzeichen') as was specifically intended for an army: 'geprüfter Wallmeister' (or: senior fortification-construction NCO) and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem simply never worn- nor tunic-attached-), condition. The neat patch is executed on a darker-green-coloured- and/or woolen-based background and shows the (Gothic-styled, very detailed and/or neatly hand-embroidered) 'W'-character as executed in bright-yellow-coloured linnen: moreover, does it show a silver-toned cord (ie. 'Kordel') attached (denoting that the bearer had sucessfully succeeded various tests in this speciality). The non-maker-marked patch is nicely backed with beige-coloured linnen as is more often encountered (as can be seen on the pictures). The patch shows some minimal staining simply caused by decades of storage only. This particular example originated from a larger cloth- and/or shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive WH (Heeres) trade- ie. specialist badge: one of the more difficult to encounter specimen of the extensive series to encounter!
