K029665 "VARIANT" EM/NCO'S M35 SPORT SHIRT EAGLE. (Wehrmachtsportabzeichen)
BACKGROUND: Physical fitness of its personnel was a prime concern of the German navy and each new recruit was issued a specific sport uniform that consisted of a pullover "tank top" style shirt, navy blue or white shorts, athletic shoes and a two piece "sweat suit" type sports uniform. Originally personnel wore a fouled anchor insignia on their sports shirts until regulations of August 25TH 1932 introduced the Unit Sports Badge of an unknown design. On May 3RD 1935 the M35 sports shirt eagle for EM/NCO’s was introduced to replace the previously used Reichsmarine, (National Navy, Circa 1919-1933), era Unit Sports Badge. Of Note: NCO’s ranks were identified by the addition of a black stripe around the neck of the sports shirt.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Variant, small size example. The insignia consists of a roughly, 8cm tall, 16cm wide, woven, white, rayon, half-moon shaped base with a machine woven national eagle, with out-stretched wings, clutching a wreathed, canted, swastika in it’s talons, in cornflower blue rayon threads. The eagle’s wingspan is roughly, 13cm from wing tip to wing tip. The insignia still has its original woven white rayon factory roll edging. Scarce.
