WH (Luftwaffe) tropical-styled, 'Armwinkel' (or: arm-chevron) as executed on typical beige- ie. tan-coloured linnen as was specifically intended for usage by a soldier with the rank of an: 'Obergefreiter'
This is an attractive - and actually fairly scarcely encountered! - example of a (typical) tropical-styled, WH (Luftwaffe) 'Armwinkel' (ie.: arm-chevron) as was executed on a beige- ie. tan-coloured- and/or linnen-based background as was (I deem) intended for usage by a soldier with the rank of an: 'Obergefreiter' (ie. senior-private) and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem simply never used- nor pre-confectioned- ie. still 'virtually mint'-), condition. The chevron is neatly executed and shows a double stripe of chocolate-brown-coloured- (ie. clearly 'sub-dued') and/or 'standard'- ie. 'dotted'-pattern, tropical LW-NCO-braid attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The patch just shows some minimal storage-age only and will be actually hard to be upgraded. The piece is void of any backing and was not yet folded into shape (as can be seen on the pictures). This particular piece originates from a neat insignia-lot that was recently uncovered at an old dry-cleaner in the town of Ghent (Gent) in Belgium: I have included an overview-picture of the entire lot (as can be noticed on the pictures). It sounds maybe strange but these 'simple', tropical-styled, 'Luftwaffe'-related rank-insignia are almost impossible to encounter. Simply an attractive tropical-styled WH-rank-badge that is with certainty accordingly priced!
