Did Gestapo have any kind of insignia or badges?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo

When on 'active service' the Gestapo wore the grey M36 open-neck tunic as worn by the SiPo with standard SS rank patches but blank (wearer's) right side patch. Of course the agent on the street would wear clothes to blend in among the population.

Here's Adolf Eichmann head of Gestapo Amt IVB4 'Jewish Affairs' .. Image Note the blank right tab.

Here is Heinrich 'Gestapo' Müller (front left) along with his boss Heydrich and assorted Gestapo, SD and RSHA big wigs including Walter Schellenberg (second from left). Image
