(Heer) Schirrmeister Badge

WWII German Army (Heer) Schirrmeister (Motor Transport / Equipment) Trade Badge
An unissued WWII German Army (Heer) specialist trade badge (Tätigkeitsabzeichen) for an equipment administration specialist or motor transport sergeant (Schirrmeister). This circular patch features a finely machine-embroidered Gothic letter "S" in golden-yellow thread, set against a dark bottle-green (flaschengrün) wool base. Worn on the lower right sleeve, this badge identified personnel responsible for the maintenance, repair, and administration of motor vehicles, horse-drawn wagons, and associated unit equipment. The reverse retains its untouched, clean greyish-blue buckram mesh backing. This pristine, mint-condition specimen is another beautiful piece from the newly uncovered "Schneider" tailor stockpile found in Germany.
