Blitzes with stitched edges like the late war eagles
This style of Blitz was made by the Franz Raab GmbH firm in 1944-45. After Germany lost access to swedish wool in 1944 the supply situtation became chaotic at best. The rayon embroidery on mesh became a wartime economy measure to conserve scarce resources.
We have to rememeber that the German economy and military procurement system were gearing up for a war that could have lasted until 1947-50 and had to manage their resources accordingly.
Franz Raab left the textile embroidery business in the 1960's switching over to electronics. Sometime in the early 1980's Globe Militaria bought almost 100,000 pieces of insignia from Raab when they cleared out the last of wartime stock in their warehouse.
Somewhere I have a bunch of Raab pricelists and catalogs for this stuff. I will look for them and post some at a future date.
Sincerely,
Diane
