WH (Luftwaffe) visor- (ie. 'Schirmmützen'-) cap-eagle
These specific cap-eagles were intended for usage on the various WH (Luftwaffe) visor-caps (ie. 'Schirmmützen'-) and saw usage before and/or throughout the war. The eagle of offer here has truly great pronounced detail and retains both its (copper-based) pins ie. prongs in place (which were I deem never bent and that are of course firmly in place). The piece shows a clear makers'-designation on its back that reads: 'CTD' on its back as more often (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece - which is executed in bright-silverish-coloured aluminium-based metal - has an approximate wingspan of 5,4 cms. and has a minimally tarnished - 'age-patina' (it was - as stated above - never used nor cap-attached - see pictures). It should be noted that excellent copies of this specific cap-eagle exist: this is naturally a fine and 100% genuine example. Simply an attractive example of a WH (Luftwaffe) maker-marked, 'two-prong-set-up'-pattern visor- (ie. 'Schirmmützen'-) cap-eagle that is nowadays not that easily encountered!
