Diplomatic Corps Wreath and Cockade

German WWII > Headgear > Accessories > Cockades

Wow try and find another one of these! The wreath is made out of a piece of die stamped tombak that has been silver washed. The cockade is made out of two piece of die stamped aluminum with a red felt plug and the back piece has been black enamel painted. The obverse features a centrally placed national tri-color (red, white and black) cockade surrounded by a pebbled half oak leaf and acorn wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The reverse shows a hollow back with all four soldered tombak prongs and two aluminum prongs. I always like when there are tombak/aluminum prongs as it is that much easier to attach to a visor. The cockade is marked "GB 39" (Gustav Bremer, 1939). The silver wash remains in beautiful condition! A rare and prized piece!
