Amiklic1 thanks for posting this here I could not find the thread. This one was from ebay, another one of those tiny photos that I took a chance on because I thought maybe there is something there, so consequently only paid 2 euro for it cause no one else spotted it. Lucky find

Here is another variation of this insignia listed on a dealer's site for 5000 $
and stating it's 1935-1936 variation.

Hi!

Thanks for posting your piece.

It's nice but we have no provenance about it.
Angolia wrote in his 3rd book about these and mentioned that they usually have stamp on the back, but it might be that there were more styles, who could know?

I must say that I like it, and would like to have one in my collection
no matter if it's period or not. It just looks nice.

I bought the original negative of this one recently, so thought it could be nice to put a photo here, also.
Enjoy!

Why is none of the Iron Crosses or swastikas in the middle field of the flags outlined in black with the patches from posts 65 and 66? It should be!!

An official patch was shown in "Die Wehrfront", magazine for the army, navy and airforce from December 17, 1936. Such patch can never be from 1935 as then the flags did not exist. The flag was first published in the "Marineverordnungsblatt" from August 28, 1936 (order B. nr. 2550 A, Ivz). Maybe it is of interest: the patch ONLY was worn for the duration of the occasion. So it should be easily to be removed.

The first such flag was granted September 14, 1936 to the II. Marineunteroffizierlehrabteilung at the annual Party Day at Nürnberg. Not earlier as then other flags were handed over and granted. Normally a gorget was worn by flag bearer's, but not with the navy. For them a flag bearer's gorget was never introduced. Only the patch in white and blue backing.

Nice photo post 71.
