Description
This is a nice example of a 'Gendarmerie' NCO's Sleeve Eagle (Ärmeladler für Mannschaften der Gendarmerie). This machine embroidered version was to be worn by NCO’s (the German Police had no enlisted ranks) within the 'Gendarmerie' or 'Feldgendarmerie'. The police were divided into eight assorted branches of service and during the restructuring the different police agencies were assigned specific identifying 'Truppenfarbe' (Branch Colors), with the orange truppenfarbe being allocated to the 'Gendarmerie' (Rural Police). The eagle is embroidered in orange on a field-grey woolen background. Nice original sleeve eagle in good unissued condition!
