Superb example of a mid- (ie. later-war-) pattern, 'SS' (ie. 'Waffen-SS') so-called: 'RzM-style' enlisted-mens'-/ie. NCO-pattern arm-eagle as was intended for usage by the various Waffen-SS troops throughout the war
This is a very attractive example of a mid- (ie. later-war-) pattern, 'SS' (ie. 'Waffen-SS') so-called: 'RzM-style' enlisted-mens'-/ie. NCO-pattern arm-eagle (ie. 'Ärmeladler für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere') as was intended for usage by the various Waffen-SS troops throughout the war and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem never used- nor tunic-attached-), condition. The neat and desirable piece - which shows the machine-embroidered- and/or silverish-white-coloured stitching on a black-coloured and woolen background - comes in a wonderfull condition (as can be seen on the pictures). The eagle - which is not 'backed' and that is machine-embroidered on typical, black-coloured wool - is a text-book example of a so-called: 'RzM'-pattern, arm-eagle that presumably originated from the so-called Dachau clothing-depots. The piece - that just shows some minimal fraying on the sides as more often - just shows some minimal staining caused by handling over the years. Of interest is, moreover, the fact that this piece shows the period-applied glue-remains on its back as more often seen. Simply a very attractive - and of course 100% guaranteed original! - Waffen-SS arm-eagle that will be very hard to be upgraded and that is nowadays getting impossible to find!
