I usually think the "look what I got today" posts are in dubious taste, but this discovery was so unexpected I offer it as an illustration of what you can fall over if you are not careful.
When I picked it up, the flea market guy, unsolicited, said "$15 for the bag" and I had to take him up on it, even though I already had the Wehrregiment München freikorps emblem. What were the chances that some d.i. collector hadn't bought this stuff and thrown the oddball item in his junk box where it would languish for another 80 years? Ah, the fickle finger of fate.
The Wehrregiment München insignia was usually sewn to a cloth diamond, which was sewn to the sleeve.
