'Polizei- o. Feuerwehr'-related arm-eagle (ie. 'Ärmeladler') on white linnen: 'Feuerwehrpolizei Hannover'

The attractive - and fairly large-sized arm-badge, sized: 10 x 9 cms. - is executed on the typical summer-type, white-coloured 'Polizei'-related linnen-based cloth and is nicely fortified with a linnen border as per regulation. The piece - that shows some minimal age, wear and/or staining - comes in an overall very nice- (I deem just minimally worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat piece truly shows great pronounced detail: the used machine-embroidery (done in typical bright-red-coloured linnen) is simply stunning (as can be seen on the pictures). These unusal (white-backed) 'Feuerwehr-Polizei'-related arm-eagles can also be encountered without having an embroidered towns-name above the eagle: this is a 'named' version showing the specific town embroidery entitled: 'Hannover' (as can be noticed on the pictures). This particular piece originated from a small series of scarcely seen 'Gendarmerie'- ie. 'Polizei'-related armbadges which series was brought to the USA after the war as a 'vet-bring-back' souvenir. It should be noted that these neat 'Feuerwehr-Polizei Ärmeladler' can easily be graded 'fairly scarce' and come not that often for sale!
