The T-shaped insignia with the Feldgrau background was used on ranger caps after 1940, when the dark green background of all patches was abolished and the insignia began to be made in less noticeable colors, closer to the color of the uniform. Rare item!
Exactly the same insignia was used on side caps from 1942 (with two buttons on the front).
How to sew a patch? There are 2 ways.
I. A method for museum copies. Trim the excess along the contour of the stripe with a margin of 5 mm. Tuck the remaining 5 mm of stock under the patch from all sides and smooth it with an iron (you can use glue). Fix the patch on the clothes with a few stitches of bright-colored threads so that it sits straight. Sew the patch along the contour with small stitches (a covering seam, around the edge). Remove the bright threads that were attached to the patch.
II. The method for reconstruction (easier). Remove the threads from the inside of the patch with scissors or a razor, so that it becomes thinner. Use tailor's glue or PVA to glue the patch on thin paper or fabric and dry it with an iron (if the glue is liquid, then it should be poured as little as possible so that it does not leak onto the front side). Crop the stripe along the contour without indentation. Fix the patch on the clothes with a few stitches of bright-colored threads or glue so that it sits flat. Sew along the contour with small stitches (a covering seam, around the edge). Remove the bright threads that were attached to the patch.
