Truly used- and/or carefully shirt-removed, WH (Luftwaffe) 'tropical'-issued breasteagle as was intended for usage onto the tropical-shirts and that show a period ink-text of an US-soldier who liberated this piece as a 'war-souvenir'

The attractive - and unusually found! - example on offer here is neatly greyish- (ie. silver-white-) coloured- and is executed on a (slightly thicker-shaped) tropical-styled, light-brownish- (ie. typical tan-) coloured and/or also linnen-based, background. The piece comes - as stated above - in an overall very nice and/or clearly shirt-removed condition: it was clearly once machine-stitched onto a tunic and still shows some of its period stitching-remains (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece - which measures from wing-tip to wing-tip approximately 10,2 cms. - is just a tiny bit stained (ie. clearly sun-faded) and does show some minimal staining as caused by years of storage and/or moderate wear but has maintained very nice detail overall. The piece is carefully period-trimmed- ie. folded and is unususal due to the fact that it shows a period inked text of an US-soldier who liberated this piece as a 'war-souvenir' (that reads: 'To Bob from Dick - 1943' as can be noticed on the pictures). The piece - which I did acquire in the USA - is nicely preserved for decades and still shows some of the period stitching-holes and/or thread-remains (as can be seen on the pictures). These 'tropical' (ie. DAK or 'Deutsches Afrika Korps') breasteagles as intended for the tropical-shirts can easily be graded 'scarce'. Simply a very nice and unusual example that was brought (ie. sent?) as a neat 'war-souvenir'!
