Superb - and rarely seen! - WH (Luftwaffe) officers'-type visor-cap eagle that is neatly hand-embroidered on beige-white-coloured wool as was specifically used for the white-topped LW officers'-type visor-caps (ie. 'Sommer-Schirmmützen')

This is a truly very attractive - and actually rarely encountered! - example of a WH (Luftwaffe) neatly hand-embroidered officers'-type visor-cap eagle (ie. 'Adler für Sommer-Schirmmützen') that is executed on beige-white-coloured wool as was specifically intended for usage on the various white-topped LW-officers-type visor-caps (ie. 'Ausgeh- o. Sommer-Schirmmützen für Offiziere der Luftwaffe') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem simply never used- nor cap-attached- ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. The eagle comes in a truly very nice condition overall: it shows some minor age simply caused by decades of storage only and was never cap-attached. The piece - which has an approximate wingspan of approximately 5,8 cms. - shows a (typical copper-based 'backing-plate' that still has its (two) chromed attachment-rings in place as can be seen on the pictures). The eagle has truly great detail (extraordinary embroidery!) and can of course excellently be used to restore any white-topped, LW-officers'-pattern visor-cap. Simply a truly rarely encountered piece of LW cloth-insignia that is with certainty accordingly priced!
