German WW2 SS Legal Officer Sleeve Diamond
This is a very example of the very rare SS Legal Officer sleeve diamond.
It was worn by “Führer in Gerichtsdienst” (Leader in Court/Legal Service).
The SS Gerichtsdienst was the legal branch of the SS; they had their own court to enforce their laws and codes, and this patch was worn by judicial personnel.
It features a blossom with five petals, hand embroidered in bullion wire. It is an officer pattern patch.
The bullion embroidery is of the highest quality, very neatly rendered, and showing some wear from use. The backing material is typical black SS wool, with a textbook buckram stiffener visible on the reverse.
The original RZM label on the back remain around 75% intact.
It’s a very desirable relic of the SS justice system.
