I see John at warbooty has an interesting Sleeve patch for those who collect these. I cant recall seeing any of these for sale before.

Just sharing so maybe some of you addicts can get a new trinkets for your collection.

The ones I have seen of this are different. Not saying this is bogus, but I'm going to try and find some pics....

Exactly, i have never seen like this before.

I cannot comment on the actual item, but just for the sake of accuracy, do allow me to remark that it is "Auslands-Organisation" not "Ausländer Organisation".

[Ausland = foreign countries, Ausländer = foreigners. The AO was for Germans who lived abroad or worked on the high seas, not for foreigners.]
