Can anyone give me more information about this patch? Who would have worn it and where on a uniform what it have been found? I've searched the net but haven't found this one. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello and welcome.
It is a Deutsche Reichsbahn BeVo collar tab. I'll move it to the correct forum for you.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
As the guys say it is Bevo style Deutsche Reichsbahn officials collar tab.

As said above, Reichsbahn, but do allow me to add the specifics:
This is one of the series of "rank level" collar patches introduced in 1941 and worn to the end of the war. This type - with the 8-leaf oakleves cluster - was for the highest-level officials; those with pay groups 1 through 5 [Beamte der Besoldungsgruppen 5 und aufwärts].
It's the "horizontal" version, for wear on closed-collar tunics. ("Vertical" collar patches of rectangular shape were worn on open-collar tunics.)
There is a forum section for classified ads. See:
https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/wrf-g...torial-115150/
This type of collar patch was first announced in the official magazine "Die Reichsbahn, Amtliches Nachrichtenblatt der Deutschen Reichsbahn"",
nr. 16/17 from 17/23 of April 1941 for officials with the paygrade 5 and upwards, which is the highest being 1 (Besoldungs-Gruppe 5 und aufwärts, 1).
This is already mentioned. This type of collar-patch was especially meant for the tunics to be closed
