Offered is an authentic German World War II Kriegsmarine administrative NCO’s badge, a well-preserved and historically significant piece of original naval insignia.
This example is a single-piece, stamped alloy badge with a gilt-washed finish, displaying crisp wartime manufacture and natural age toning. The design features a vertical Mercurian staff (caduceus)—two serpents entwined around a winged staff—superimposed on a vertical anchor, symbolizing administrative and clerical service within the Kriegsmarine. The strong relief and clean lines highlight the quality of period German production.
The badge is associated with the Kriegsmarine, the naval branch of Germany’s armed forces during World War II, and would have been worn as a uniform device by a non-commissioned officer in an administrative role.
An excellent collectible for enthusiasts of WWII militaria, German naval history, or original uniform badges, this piece offers both display appeal and solid historical context.
Condition: Original, with age-appropriate wear consistent with wartime issue.
Shipping: $5 shipping to the lower 48 United States.
