Gentlemen,
I wanted to start a thread about maker marks found on cloth insignia, because there does not seem to be a lot of info available on the subject. Several authors have done amazing work identifying the marks found on metal badges, but the marks on cloth stuff remain a mystery in many cases. In an effort to shed some light on the subject, I was hoping that the knowledgeable guys here might be able to identify some of these manufacturers, and even if they remain unidentified, we can post some interesting examples here.
I will make a start with some common examples from my collection. If anyone can identify the makers, that will be most appreciated!
All the best,
Mark
First up is an army Funkmeister patch, with a 'CG' marking. The second patch is for Hufbeschlagpersonal, with a mark that looks like 'RHF' or 'PHF'.
