Superb, WH (Heeres) trade- and/or special-career insignia being a detailed- and/or neatly hand-embroidered example as executed on field-grey-coloured wool as was intended for a: 'Steuermann' (ie. enigineer-boat-pilot or helmsman)

This is a very attractive example of a WH (Heeres) trade- and/or special-career insignia being a very detailed- (and/or neatly hand-embroidered!) example as was executed on field-grey-coloured wool as was specifically intended for usage by an army: 'Steuermann' (ie. enigineer-boat-pilot or helmsman) being an example that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem never used- nor tunic-attached- ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. The patch is beautifully executed in somewhat shiny, silverish-coloured braid and is a superb example of the employed craftmenship of the days (as can be seen on the pictures). It is moreover nicely 'backed' with a piece of black coloured linnen that is void of a makers'-designation-stamp (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge just shows some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by decades of storage only. This is actually a scarcely encountered 'Pioniere'- (ie. engineers-) related patch that is (I deem) very much underestimated by the collectors'-community. Simply an attractive - example of this desirable Heeres 'Sturm-Pioniere'-related arm-patch!
