#10635-POSTAL PROTECTION POLICE SLEEVE INSIGNIA:
Very rare set of sleeve insignias as worn by members of
the Postschutz (Postal Protection service). It
consists of two separate pieces of insignia, one is the
scarcer version of the sleeve badge (with
the title Post-schutz)
in BeVo construction on a backing of field grey.
The Other is a cuff title for the Postschutz in
BeVo red-orange on a dark blue band. The cuff
title was typically worn in occupied areas. The
Postschutz was a small Police organization that
numbered fewer than 5,000 men, in 1942 it was absorbed
by the SS and renamed the SS-Postschutz,
insignia from the organization is therefore quite
scarce. The sleeve badge is unissued and uncut but does
show age and tiny glue stains to its corners. The cuff
title is off a tunic and remains seamed with light
surface wear. Condition II+ $1250.00 |
