K029076 TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER'S CAREER SLEEVE INSIGNIA.
(Technische-Nachrichtenoffizier 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. Officers ranks of Leutnant up to and including Großadmiral wore their career insignia, in matching pairs, on the lower sleeve of the blue mess, reefer and frock coat positioned above the appropriate rank tress stripes.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The insignias consist of two roughly, 50mm tall, 35mm wide, vertically oval, navy blue wool bases with a hand embroidered, multi-cogged gear wheel superimposed on a downward pointing, blitz arrow in bright, golden yellow celleon threads. The reverse of the insignias still has its protective blue fabric backing intact. (Ex Philippe Gillain Collection)
