Dan 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.

Gordon Williamson Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Very nice original, but not just for officers. These were worn by NCOs also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm F Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 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)?
