These oval badges were worn by NCOs and denoted their particular professional skill, in this case an engine room instructor, first class (mot.I lehrgang), signified by the double chevron. It would have been worn on the upper left arm.
It is machine embroidered red (perhaps a cotton/rayon mix as it has a sheen to it) on a navy blue wool twill ground, with a rayon mesh backing. It measures just under 9cm long and is in ex-stores condition.
