Unfinished Schutzpolizei Sleeve Badge.

Code: 52417

An interesting and clearly unfinished example of the Schutzpolizei Sleeve Badge, no doubt liberated from factory stores prior to completion.
Machine embroidered in a green thread on a lightweight cotton backing for the summer uniform, the stages of manufacture would have been the addition of the Swastika in black thread and the city name, which did not take place.
Very good unissued condition.
The Schutzpolizei des Reiches was the uniformed police in most cities and large towns
An interesting curios
