Vintage East Germany Kriegsmarine and similar items

"Hans the war has ended. We must immediately change all rank and regalia and have the manufacturers change their logos as well so that collectors in future decades might easily identify them!" That did not happen although in many instances East Germany made minor changes such as in the size of pips before proceeding. Unused NOS patch about 3 1/2" tall, embroidered on felt, cloth backed. I suppose this would be the equivalent or abouts of a Chief Bosun's Mate in American service. You get the one shown. Of unsure vintage but closer to the war than to today. Ships free to any US address including APO, FPO and possessions, anywhere else $2.00.
