I had a customer come up to me over this weekend's gunshow and he told me about when he was a boy as a USAF child dependent. He lived in Bitberg, Germany with his family. One day while walking through a large open field he kicked a dirt clod and found this. He was always curious how a Naval badge could wind up so far from the sea. I said the area may have been a holding area for POW's or that he could have been transferred into any arm of the Wehrmacht during the latter stages of the war...who knows.
He sent me two quick pictures of the badge and now wants to sell it to me. The catch is broken but it doesn't look bad for having been in the ground until 1959.
