Postal (telephone and telegraph) and related to Imperial Germany!
Found this image in the web, a match!! Seal of the Post and newspaper ministry in Berlin (around 1900)

It reads:

Adlerschild für Helferarmbänder gestiftet vom ? Peterstal

Eagle shield for deputy arm bands given by (or to) the municipality of Peterstal

It is a badge for an arm band for deputized Imperial Postilions.

Here is a Bavarian Postilion uniform with such an arm band.

Makes perfect sense...it is a shield that was supposed to be stitched on an armband for postal helpers
(auxiliary postal workers not wearing uniforms)

The fabric one is from the Weimar period 1920 to 1933
