Rare German WWII Latvian Volunteer Sleeve Shield | Early Red & Silver Stripe Pattern

A rare German WWII Latvian volunteer sleeve shield featuring a red cloth field crossed by a single diagonal silver or silver-grey stripe. The simple design represents an early or variant form of Latvian nationality insignia used by volunteers serving in German-organized military formations during the war.

Nationality shields allowed foreign volunteers to display their national origin while wearing German uniforms. This example was a veteran bring-back and appears to have been removed from a uniform sleeve.
