German Third Reich-era 12th Company button, 19mm example of military-style uniform insignia produced in Germany during the period of World War II. This type of button is associated with company-level identification used on uniforms or related equipment during the 1930s and 1940s.
The button features the designation “12” in relief, indicating allocation to the 12th Company within a military or organisational structure. The compact 19mm size corresponds to use on lighter garments, field uniforms, or ancillary items where smaller fittings were required. Construction in metal reflects standard wartime production methods of the period.
Buttons of this type formed part of the broader system of German military uniform insignia and equipment identification during the Third Reich era. Company-numbered fittings were used to assist with organisational distinction and unit allocation within larger formations.
Manufactured in metal with a shank fitting to the reverse, this button represents a small but identifiable piece of Second World War-era German uniform hardware.
