Cavalry Signals Patch?

[Rick Research]

Is this the patch for cavalry signalmen?

Rick, I have seen photographs of square flag Winker Abzeichen on Cavalry
tunics and swallow-tail ones on Foot Troops tunics. As near as I can tell,
it comes down to quality. Issue ones are square, while some tolerance was
there for these "jazzed-up" private purchase ones which are only found on
Eigetumsstück (privately purchased) tunics. Here is an issued one to Husaren regt Nr. 11 to illustrate my point. The cord is faded yellow, the wool backing is green. Tony

Thanks Tony! i wondered since the only photo I have is a wartime Feldgrau version (below) on a Hussar NCO--and it has no backing at all!
