Nice officer's eagle you started with-- too many of them are UGLY and look "starving" or otherwise misshapen.

Breast eagle and visor cap eagle for size comparison.

[attachmentid=9490]

[attachmentid=9492]

Odd that the larger tunic eagle has a smaller swastika than the little cap eagle, but it is just this sort of hand-made uniqueness that IF we were lucky enough to have a cap like in Michel's Uboat commander thread, we could say THIS insignia is being worn in THAT photo.i

[Laurence Strong]

Thanks Rick, I need to get a cap eagle to round things out.

I am positive that the breast eagle is a reproduction

[Laurence Strong]

Hi gene which breast Eagle are you talking about?

Here a Sb for a Signals Oberleutnant.

[Gene]

The one in Rick Research's thread that I quoted

[Laurence Strong]

A couple of new one's. SB's for the Luftwaffe Beamte for the weather dept, though I thought the Light Blue inner strip was for Reserve Officials
