From a larger vet estate lot...first one of these I've had w/ the four corner snaps for attachment to the uniform sleeve...Not a rare item by any stretch, but a neat feature never the less...standard BEVO weave, w/ "Ges. Gesch." still visible to the reverse. The snaps appear to be hand-sewn. Just a variation I'd suppose, but I found it interesting just the same....

UNIFORM REMOVED HJ DIAMOND w/ SNAPS...

Hi Milton,
One often finds HJ raute (clothing diamonds) and also district triangles with snaps sewn in, as it was time consuming for the mothers of the children to be removing and then re-sewing insignia after a clothing item was laundered.
I think the snaps add more provenance to your item, and while not "rare" gives the insignia a more period "feel".
Best wishes,
John.
