Need help with Gebirgjager cloth patch...

Sorry, but the "Beteiligung Vorsteher" interpretation of BEVO is incorrect, although it keeps popping up in the English-language secondary literature.

(The word "Beteiligung" in front of a company name is not used in German and actually makes no sense in this particular context.)

BEVO really stands for "Bandfabrik Ewald Vorsteher".

For examples of the spelt-out company name, see this Third-Reich-era ad...:

...or this current Ebay auction for a 1956 letter: BEVO Bandfabrik Ewald Vorsteher Wuppertal-Barmen 1956 | eBay

Many thanks for that correction, what would this forum do without you??

Wow very nice EK2 collection you have and such terrific examples of others...i had years ago a mint 15 year NSDAP long service award but it was unfortunately with me in a rather hefty car crash and once i got out of hospital it was gone except for a face struck casting of the eagle and wreath that was underneath the passengers seat..easy come easy go
