WWII German Uniform Sleeve Badge Grouping
This grouping consists of five WWII-era German uniform sleeve badges including Luftwaffe Narvik Shield, Wehrmacht Kuban Shield, and three Wehrmacht Driver Proficiency Badges in bronze, silver, and gold. All badges remain in unissued condition with original paper backing and exhibit light handling marks with a nicely aged patina on each badge. The Narvik Shield was awarded to all German forces that took part in the battle of Narvik between 9 April and 8 June 1940, the Kuban Shield was awarded to Wehrmacht forces who fought at the Kuban bridgehead in the Soviet Union from February 1943 until October 1943, and the Driver Proficiency Badges were awarded to German personnel who served since 1 December 1940 on the front or rear lines on the Balkan, North Africa, or Eastern fronts with the qualifying period dependent on the type of vehicle driven. A fine collection of German uniform sleeve badges for the advanced German collector. (28A11738-MB20,24,27) [John A. Micavich Collection] (700/1000)
