SS Signals arm badge, Nachrichten Aermelraute?

**Friedrich-Berthold** · 03-09-2013, 08:09 PM

From my mentor, David Delich, comes this illustration of an Aermelraute with the query whether some order or document or photo exists to confirm that it is an SS badge of some kind.
Who has such material to confirm its use by the SS, or is it from another organization of some kind unknown to him and me?

My mentor posed this query ".....may be an
undocumented SS communications badge for
radio, telegraph, or whatever. It is hand-embroidered
in white rayon or silk thread on black wool. In
size, it matches many of my other SS raute. Since
I have seen no other examples, it obviously is NOT
one 1000 fakes flooding the market, or shows.
It is expertly-made.
Would you wager it to be a privately-made piece
for the wearer, or one of a few prototypes made for
short-term use, etc.?
Possibly it is a common emblem used by some
other organization, country, etc. and would nothing
to do with the SS....? "

Who among you has the relevant data?

My question concerned an original source, that is, a document, a photo, an order or something similar.

Though I rarely comment on SS items, assumed or otherwise, I have to say that the quality of the embroidery looks a bit poor when compared with the similar Heer Funkmeister patch, but that is not what you are asking so maybe I should refrain from posting this.

Thank you for the useful observation.

Greetings. There is some simiarity in the motiff design to Luft telegraph typist insignia or air-raid warning personnel. So, at a wild guess, I would say signals telegraphist. Regards, Paul
