This is a very attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - national emblem (ie. breast-badge or: 'Hoheitsabzeichen') as was intended for the various 'Eastern Volunteers' (ie. 'Ostvölker-Truppen'), as executed in neat 'BeVo'-weave pattern, in overall very nice (ie. virtually mint-/unissued!) condition. This breast-badge - intended to replace the standard pattern 'regular' breast-eagle - was introduced in late 1942. Although definetely worn and issued, its use was not common practice, something that explaines it comparative rarity. This example is in a stonemint, unissued condition and cannot be upgraded: it comes as 'straightly cut-off the role'. Simply a very nice and fairly scarcely encountered breast-badge: it has been some time that I had a similar badge on offer!
