WWII GERMAN PATCH - SR PETTY OFFICER - This is a German rank patch. As used by the Kriegsmarine (Navy) during World War Two.

The petty officer badges were produced in two types; the regular petty officer and the Sr. petty officer. The difference between the two was the chevron located below the anchor (as illustrated on this page).

The badge shown here was produced to be worn with the Dark-navy blue uniform. The same badge was also constructed with a yellow silk thread embroidered pattern. All badges were worn on the upper right arm.

The design consists of a metal oval backing plate. The front is covered with black wool material in the same shape. A metal anchor with a rope surrounding it and a metal "V" are secured to the front via the use of long prongs. Both items are guilded.

The author is not aware of any reproductions being made of this patch. It is possible that demand for the patch is not large enough to make it profitable.
