Hauptmann Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi all, I just received this along with several other TR pieces as a gift. I'd like to confirm if this is an original naval breast eagle and if so if an enlisted or officer... I'm assuming enlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Nice original heavy machine embroidered type predomonantly used by Enlisted Sailors and NCOs. Can be found on the shirt, but mostly on the Pea Jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi Gordon, Many thanks for the confirmation! I haven't had a lot of luck with TR these last few years so it's really great to hear at least some of the pieces I got are original. So far this and the screw back wound badge are good... so just need to hear on the SS cap eagle and the police cap eagle... keeping my fingers tightly crossed! Thanks again!

JoeC Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Just received some KM eagles in a US GI lot; confirmed on warrelics.eu forum. http://warrelics.eu/forum/heer-luftwaffe-kriegsmarine-uniforms-third-reich/eagles-blue-background-26683/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
