An original example of a WW2 German Army (Heer) officer’s breast eagle, hand-embroidered in silver bullion thread on a dark green backing. This type of insignia was worn on the tunic left breast by commissioned officers of the Wehrmacht.
The detailing includes the national eagle with outstretched wings clutching a n emblem, executed in high-quality bullion wire typical of officer-grade insignia. This uniform removed eagle has some wire losses and seems to be oxidized. 93 mm width.
