    Cloth patch help

    Tilt it so the handles are both down and what you have there is an army Commissar's star, worn on the lower sleeve of each arm just above the cuffs.

    These were generally removed following Hitler's "Commissar Order" that these officers be executed on the spot when captured. Last worn in 1941/42.

    From the untrimmed uniform cloth colored backing, yours was never issued.

    Certainly, but I'm not sure what-- because these rarely ever come up for sale. There's no "retail" to go by.

    I would think in the neighborhood of ?20/$30.

    Many thanks for the replies. I do intend to sell this as i do not collect cloth and dare not start. I will have a look around to see if I can find any comparisons and then post it in the for sale section here.

    thanks again
