WH (Heeres) early- (ie. evt. pre-) war-period, 'Panzer'-type breast-eagle

This is an attractive - and with certainty not that easily encountered! - example of an early- (ie. eventually pre-war-) period WH (Heeres Panzer) greyish-silver-coloured breast-eagle of the so-called: 'M39'- (ie.'M40'-) pattern (ie. 'Brustadler für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere') as was executed in the (not that often seen!) machine-embroidered pattern onto a black-coloured (and woolen-based) background that was specifically intended for usage on the black-coloured 'Panzer'-wrap-around'-tunics and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. The eagle is executed in greyish-silver-coloured linnen on a black-coloured (and woolen-based) background. The piece just shows some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by decades of storage and/or handling but can naturally easily serve to restore any black-coloured 'Panzer'-wrap-around'-tunic. It should be noted that excellent reproductions of this type of eagle do exist: this is naturally a fine period, original!
