WH (Heeres) hand-embroidered trade- and/or special-career arm-insignia: 'Wallmeister' (or: fortification-construction NCO)
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: ' Wallmeister' (or: fortification-construction NCO) 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. The maker-marked patch shows a stamped makers-designation on its back (that reads: 'TA38' as can be noticed on the pictures) is nicely backed with greyish-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!
