WH (Heeres) officers'-type, hand-embroidered breast-eagle (ie. 'Brustadler für Offiziere') that came stored in its period, 'Cellophan' pouch
This is an attractive - and with certainty never used nor tunic-attached! - example of a WH (Heeres) officers'-type, hand-embroidered- (and truly very detailed!) army-type breast-eagle (ie. 'Brustadler für Offiziere des Heeres') being executed in bright-silverish-coloured braid on a darker-green-coloured- and/or 'smooth'-woolen-based background that came stored in its period, 'Cellophan' pouch and that comes in an overall very nice- (and as stated above still 'virtually mint'-), condition. This example - having a length ie. 'wingspan' of approximately 10 cms. - is nicely hand-embroidered using (very bright!) silverish-coloured 'braid' on a darker-green-coloured (and/or woolen-based-) background and does show some 'high-lighted'-areas as executed in darker-green-coloured thread (as can be seen on the pictures). The eagle - which is void of a makers'-designation as more often - shows an additional 'backing' that is constructed of black-toned paper: moreover, does it still shows its period-attached inventory- ie. price-tag (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive example of a WH (Heeres) officers'-type breast-eagle of the 'Extra Qualität' that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
