G571.)VERY DESIRABLE STAHLELM STATE OF HESSE SLEEVE BADGE: totally exquisite in every respect, just spectacular. Stamped nickel-silver shield showing antlered stag's skull with imperial state of Hesse rampant lion above. Surrounded with wreath and with M17 steel helmet motif at top adorned with 'Der Stahlhelm' . Shield is constructed of a quality silver alloy, almost like genuine sterling. This is an exceptional badge. With multiple holes around the perimeter of the wreath and sewn to field gray wool oval. Cannot praise this one enough. EXC+++++
