BeVo 'Don Cossacks' Volunteer Sleeve Shield

Description

WH (Heer) BeVo woven sleeve-shield as intended for a volunteer within the 'Don Cossacks' (Ärmelschild für Freiwillige Don-Kosaken). The shield shows the white cyrillic letters 'вД' for Voysko Donskoye, the region of the Don Cossacks (Донские казаки). The cossacks served within the 1st Cossack Calvary Division which was formed from Don, Kuban and Terek Cossacks. As with other foreign volunteers Don Cossack personnel were allocated an identifying sleeve shield insignia that was introduced in 1943. The shield is executed in the neat so-called BeVo weave style on a field-grey linnen background. Nice original piece of Eastern volunteer insignia in mint and unissued condition!
