#7400-HUNGARIAN
NATIONALITY SHIELD:
Unique example of a small (Cuff sized) Hungarian
Nationality Shield that appears to have been used by a
Hungarian attached to a German Police formation. The
shield measures 1-1/4 inches wide by 1-3/4 inches tall
and is of hand-embroidered construction on a backing of
Police “green” wool. The embroidery work is in fine
rayon thread in the Hungarian colors of red, white &
green with a white cord border. The word Ungarn
(German for Hungarian) is neatly hand sewn with black
thread on the center white segment. The reverse has the
typical protective backing of black paper that shows
some wear. It is well documented that the Royal
Hungarian Gendarmerie worked alongside the German forces
in Police operations throughout the war.. Shows light
wear and age, Condition II+ $125.00 |
