Chris, this is a stunning badge for sure, thanks for sharing.
The basic color looks blue on my screen and does not seem to fit the uniform's grey. Was it worn? If so, do you know where on the uniform it was worn?

Chris,

It looks blue on my screen as well. Interesting to see the construction, front and back, resembles the German cloth insignia made made during WWII.

Could it be a kind of reunion blazer patch?

How about a baret badge for a sani ?

That thought had occured to me as well.

It was just a thought but at the same time and when taking a look in this thread at post 11;
http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...=beret+backing
Left and right of the wreath are different with the 57 award,all embroidered baret badges I have show left and right have the same oak leaves.
Plus Chris his badge has the same third wing feature like the repro award on the beret in post 11.
It's the same blue however as sani.
