Heimschutz gross-hamburg shield

[JamesT]

Good day folks

This is a sleeve shield for the HEIMSCHUTZ GROSS-HAMBURG or Home protection Police in Greater Hamburg. I believe that the district, Uhlh is Uhlenhorst.

The original owner was in JR76 during WW1. His ID tag is attached too. What is an id tag called in German?

Are these rare and is there any collecting interest for such items?

Many thanks

James

Thanks Gerdan

Those were the only pictures I could find when I did a Google search too. Not many pictures.

But if you see the numbers 990, 91, 843 you you can imagine that there have been issued a

great quantity of such shields. As usual only a few survied.
