What is this cloth badge please?

I have seen this for sale and have no idea what it is. Nothing like it on any of the trade sites. With the left swastica reversed I am sceptical anyway, but thought I'd ask. It was a vet pick up.

I think maybe it's a Wehrmacht signals patch. Looks bad.

It is a fake Heer Standard bearers sleeve insignia.

Originals were only made in Bevo machine woven form.

Cheers, Ade.

The vet must have picked it up in a period long after he had finished serving, as it's a fake, as Ade posted.

[Adrian Stevenson]

I know we have some good originals posted on the forum as one member was lucky enough to find a small hoard of them. By the way, the flag came in different waffenfarbe colours. White for Inf, pink for Panzer et al..

Cheers, Ade.

The same guy has some cuff titles, that I think are copies also. I will post on the SS forum.

Post 3 from Adrian needs to be corrected.
The flag bearer's arm patches were mainly manufactured in BeVo-style, but handembroidered ones did exist.
They were for example offered by the concern of J.F. Riedeler in their November 1937-cataloque:
handgestickte Fahnenträgerabzeichen were indicated as "Extra";
the woven version was indicated as "Dienst", so for the regular service-uniform.

That is a fake and originals are a work of art!!That isnt even close to the beauty of a flag bearers original patch!Goodbuys PS. Stay away from this seller as he is looking (imo) to sell garbage!

[Adrian Stevenson]

Thanks Wim, never heard of that before.

Cheers, Ade.

I did not say the patch shown was an original.
I just corrected what Adrian said: "Originals were only made in BeVo machine woven form"!
It is a general thought they were only manufactured in BeVo, but old catalogues state otherwise.
