Motor Vehicle Driver (Senior)
Scarce to find this badge with the addition of the piping and also rare to see in hand embroidered finish. Some select trade badges were piped with twisted grey or silver/aluminum braiding to denote NCO’ s ranks while some were piped with twisted gilt braiding to denote outstanding performance in the particular trade. When a trade badge was allocated with the outstanding performance, gilt braid, piping it came accompanied with an award certificate. The Motor Vehicle Driver’s Trade Badge was introduced on November 8th 1935, for personnel who had fulfilled the requirements to obtain a military drivers license and were appointed as a driver. The badge consists of a roughly, 55mm diameter, Luftwaffe blue/grey wool base with a hand embroidered, stylized Luftwaffe eagle superimposed on the likeness of a vehicle radiator grill, all in silver/grey cotton threads. The outer edge of the badge is trimmed in twisted, sliver wire cord piping signifying "distinguished performance as a driver". The badge is in overall very good condition with light age and usage toning.
