Kriegsmarine Kreigsmarine Breast Eagle

Hi all

Recieved this today in a mixed group of items. I have a good feeling about it, but I havent had one before.

Hopefully someone can confirm my felings that this is a good one.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

The maker is J.C. Maedicke, Berlin. This is the eagle for the officers' white summer uniform.

Thanks Norm!

I really like the hinge mechanism - a nice peice of enginering

This is my first breast eagle - are these reasonably scarce?

Hi Dan,

I wouldn't say they were particularly scarce. You see a fair number of these anodized aluminum eagles around but they are quite nice.

Cheers.

Very nice original, but not just for officers. These were worn by NCOs also.

Hi Gordon,

I know they'd be worn by a Feldwebel (senior NCO) but would they ever be worn by a Maat or Obermaat (junior NCO)?

Norm,

Could be worn by any rank on the Bordjacke, but certainly only SNCOs on the white summer jacket.
