Heer Administration / Paymaster Trade Badge

Trade and Specialist badges were introduced at varying times through-out the Third Reich to distinguish EM/NCO personnel who had achieved proficiency at a particular trade, specialty or function. The identifying insignia was most commonly worn on the lower right sleeve of the service or field tunic of qualified personnel.

Pre-1940 dark green badge cloth base with a machine embroidered Gothic, “B”, in golden yellow threads. Unissued exampel in very good condition with original protective backing cloth intact to the reverse.

One of the harder trade badges to find!!
