WW2 German Army 9th Company Button

The WW2 German Army 9th Company Button is an original period uniform accessory used by the German military during the Second World War. This metal button was issued specifically to mark membership in the 9th Company of a regiment or battalion within the Heer (Army) structure. Typical features include a stamped numeral “9” on the face, a smooth or lightly textured surface, and a rear shank or loop for sewing to the uniform. Such buttons were commonly affixed to shoulder boards or epaulettes, serving as unit identifiers for soldiers and command staff. Dimensions, materials, and production methods varied slightly according to manufacturer and supply period, but most examples from this era are made from zinc, steel, or a tin alloy with a silver or gray finish. The WW2 German Army 9th Company Button provides insight into the organizational systems of the Wehrmacht and remains a reference item for historical study or uniform restoration.
