K022276 TORPEDO MECHANIC EM'S CAREER SLEEVE BADGE. (Torpedomechaniker Laufbahnabzeichen)

BACKGROUND: On entering Kriegsmarine service all personnel were assigned and trained for a specific career. These careers consisted of a wide variety of specialty trades and functions with some of the careers restricted to certain rank groups. On successful completion of the appropriate training, personnel were issued distinctive career insignia to be worn on the upper left sleeve of the uniforms. For EM/NCO’s the career insignia could be worn combined with the rank insignia or as separate insignia. Regulations dictated that the base color of the insignia was to match the color of the uniform it was worn on.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The insignia consists of a roughly, 60mm diameter, white cotton base with a machine embroidered horizontal torpedo superimposed over a cogged wheel with four internal spokes, all in cornflower blue cotton threads. The reverse of the badge still has its original, loosely woven, protective white fabric backing.

GRADE ****                                                         PRICE $39.00
