K007978 SIGNALS HAUPTGEFREITER'S COMBINED CAREER & RANK SLEEVE INSIGNIA.
(Armwinkel und Signals Laufbahnabzeichen)BACKGROUND: On entering Kriegsmarine service all personnel were assigned and trained for a specific career. These careers consisted of a wide variety of specialty trades and functions with some of the careers restricted to certain rank groups. On successful completion of the appropriate training, personnel were issued distinctive career insignia to be worn on the upper left sleeve of the uniforms. For EM/NCO’s the career insignia could be worn combined with the rank insignia or as separate insignia. Regulations dictated that the base color of the insignia was to match the color of the uniform it was worn on.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The insignia consists of a roughly, 12cm tall, navy blue wool base with an inverted triangular bottom and a semi-circular top. The top of the base has machine embroidered, crossed Signal flags with red borders and white interiors on golden yellow staffs, in cotton threads positioned above three, golden yellow, zig-zag patterned, celluloid rank chevrons. The rank chevrons are machine stitched to the wool base.
