Hi Friends
Need your help with this KM Sleeve Insignia Oberbootsmannsmaat.
I can't find any information about the " V " inside the anchor.

Thanks Andi

One of the rare ones from the Reichs-Kriegsmarine. Verwaltungs Petty officer. PM John Robinson or maybe he will be along to give further comment. Very nice and not often seen!

Very nice 1935 insignia. These are very rare.

WOW, I did not expect. That's a lot of money.

While these are scarce due to the limited time produced. The Ebay price someone got a little too overzealous with the bid.
Typically for these metal arm shields they go for around 30-40Euro on many dealer sites. The "M" or "V" one would expect to pay around 100-150 Euro. Anything more than that, is outrageous.
The Standard Bearer, 1935 "M" or "V" metal insignia and then Dive patches are probably the most expensive sleeve insignia for the Kriegsmarine.

Mind you the Fuhrer standard that was worn on the sleeve of KM personnel on the Aviso Grille was probably the most rare piece IMHO. I am unfamiliar if anyone has one in their collection.

Yes indeed it's totally insane if someone is willing to pay such a price

With my next update the item is listed for 190€.
I hope this is a fair price..

Thanks Andi
