German WW2 NSDAP Amtswalter Sleeve Diamond
This NSDAP Amtswalter Sleeve Diamond is a scarce and attractive piece of insignia for a Nazi Party political leader.
This pattern of sleeve shield was worn by NSDAP Political Leaders holding the position of “Amtswalter” (an Administrator, official, or local-party-boss).
It was worn on the upper left sleeve of the brown political NSDAP tunic.
This sleeve shield measures about 80 mm tall by 60 mm wide.
It is in the form of a diamond, made of thin black rayon fabric.
The center of the diamond features a 1929 pattern NSDAP style German eagle and swastika emblem, which is Bevo style, machine woven, in silver-grey thread with a black swastika and red tongue on the eagle.
This rayon diamond has been folded around a textbook original tan buckram backing, which has a small sewing thread hole in each corner, this is how they were attached to the uniform.
This NSDAP Amtswalter appears to have been removed from a uniform.
A few traces of the original black stitching used to affix this to a uniform sleeve remain intact.
Overall, this sleeve shield rates as in good condition.
