This is a nice example of a 'Schutzpolizei' NCO's Summer Tunic Sleeve Eagle (Ärmeladler) as intended for a member who served within the 'Polizei Recklinghausen'. This machine embroidered version was to be worn by NCO’s (the German Police had no enlisted ranks). The eagle is embroidered in green on the typical summer-type Police linen-based cloth (grünmellierte Stoff). The name of the city 'Recklinghausen' is nicely embroidered above the eagle. Nice original sleeve eagle in very good condition!
