Truly worn- ie. 'cut-out', RB- ('Reichsbahn'-) related arm-eagle as executed in 'BeVo'-weave style as was intended for an official of the: 'Deutsche Reichsbahn' ie. the 'RBD Essen' (or: 'Reichsbahndirektion Essen')

This is a neat example of a linnen-based arm-eagle (ie. 'Ärmeladler') as executed in the so-called: 'BeVo'weave style, as was intended for usage by an official of the: 'Deutsche Reichsbahn' ie. of the: 'RBD Essen' (or: 'Reichsbahndirektion Essen') and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. truly worn- ie. carefully 'cut-out of a tunic'-) condition. These attractive eagles - as woven in golden-yellow linnen on a black-coloured- and also linnen-based background - were worn on the darker-blue-coloured service-tunics and/or uniforms of the various officials within this organisation. This is a special arm-insignia-piece, that was intended for the staff working at one of the occupied railway-centres. There were several of these railway-related centres (= 'Reichsbahndirektionen' or RBD) throughout Europe. This is a piece that was intended for a member of the: 'RBD (= 'Reichsbahn-Direktion') based in the German town of Essen. The piece - showing a left-facing eagle as to be expected - comes in a truly worn- ie. 'cut-out' and/or once tunic-attached condition: it is a tiny bit stained (ie. wrinkled) caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage only. This piece originates from a larger collection of various RB- ('Reichsbahn'-) related arm-eagles that was compiled over many years and that I recently acquired for the website. Simply a nice - and not that commonly encountered! - 'Deutsche Reichsbahn'-related arm-eagle!
