Trying to identify a german uniform button
Hello
I am trying to identify this button that I've found in my father's WWII memorabilia box.
On the reverse side is written: Assmann & Sohne Ludenscheid.
My father was a navigator in the RAF, flying out of Snaith, Yorkshire.
I have no idea how he would have come across this piece.
Thank you for reading my post, di2315

It is definitely a uniform button from the German post office. However, it is not from the time of the Weimar Republic or the TR. In that time, the buttons had an imperial eagle, not a post horn.

There were also variations depending on the area of Germany being covered (no country wide common uniform). I'm not sure when this was used but I haven't found a similar example in this semi sheen metal. Post 1945 many of the post office uniform buttons were flatter and not this domed type.

Yep, that's what I figured but I was not in a position to show evidence!
