Proud Kraut Posted December 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2019 It´s the cloth variant of the Bundeswehr 1st Airborne Division (1. Luftlandedivision) pocket hanger. What´s the size of the patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted December 29, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 29, 2019 Here´s a picture of the mentioned pocket hanger. It was worn by HQ/HQ Co. elements. The division´s brigades and battalions had different insignia. The divison was disbanded in 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Kraut Posted December 30, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 30, 2019 Phill, the translation of your picture´s caption is: StKp LLDiv (Stabskompanie Luftlandedivision) - HQCo. Airborne Division Bruchsal - (Name of the town the HQ/HQ Co. was garrisoned) Formed: January, 2nd 1957 Disbanded: September, 30th 1994 Until the early 1980´s there were no unit insignia worn on Army BDU. From the early 1980´s on soldiers were allowed to wear pocket hangers on their BDU. Until the introduction of the new Flecktarn camo the use of cloth SSI by Army units was very limited. SSI becam popular with the introduction of the new Camo BDU. In this case I´m unsure if the patch was made as SSI or for ie a pennant. It was probably made in the late 1980´s/early 1990´s.
