Heer Gefreiter Chevron - WW2 Era?

I have seen a similar style for Luftwaffe but have never seen this style of rank Chevron for Heer - Original?

Nice! Interesting that it's "Gesch.Geschutzt" marked
( gesetzlich geschuetzt " = protected!)

How big is it? If it is Heer it might be a prototype with the protection label.

These are internet photos and I am assuming they are full-sized chevrons. I have seen similar Luftwaffe style chevrons machine embroidered like this with a green border, which I was told were pre-war.

Hard to say what it is.
