WW2 German Army 14th Company Button

This is an original World War II German Army 14th Company button, used as part of the standard issue uniform for Heer (Army) personnel. The button is produced from a metal alloy typical of the period, with a field-grey or silvered finish depending on issue specifics. Stamped with the number “14,” it designates the wearer’s assignment to the 14th Company within a regiment. Such buttons were commonly sewn onto tunics and greatcoats and served both a practical and organizational purpose, aiding in the identification of unit affiliation among soldiers. The reverse side typically features a loop or shank for secure attachment to uniform fabric. Minor variations in construction may occur due to manufacturer or year of issue. This artifact provides insight into German military organization and uniform standards during the Second World War. The button shows signs of use consistent with its age and historical context.
