The attractive - and fairly large-sized arm-badge, sized: 10 x 9 cms. - is executed on the typical summer-type 'Polizei'-type linnen-based cloth (aka 'grünmellierte Stoff') and is nicely fortified with a linnen border as per regulation. The piece - that shows some minimal age, wear and/or staining - comes in an overall nice, albeit I deem minimally used- ie. once tunic-attached, condition. The piece retains, however, great pronounced detail: the used machine-embroidery (done in typical orange-coloured linnen) is simply stunning (as can be seen on the pictures). These unusal arm-eagles can also be encountered without having an embroidered town-name above the eagle: this is a 'named' version showing the specific town embroidery entitled: 'München'. It should be noted that these neat 'grünmellierter Gendarmerie Ärmeladler' can easily be graded 'fairly scarce'!

The attractive - and fairly large-sized arm-badge, sized: 10 x 9 cms. - is executed on the typical woolen-type 'Polizei'-type-cloth and is nicely fortified with a linnen-based border (something that is NOT always the case). The piece - that shows minimal age but that was I deem never used- nor tunic-attached - retains great detail: the used machine-embroidery is simply stunning (as can be seen on the pictures). These unusal arm-eagles can also be encountered having an embroidered town-name above the eagle: this is a 'not-named'- ie. generic version that is void of such town-specification. Simply a nice 'Polizei o. Gendarmerie'-related-example that will be hard to be upgraded!

This a truly attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - WH (Kriegsmarine o. Heeres) bright-golden-toned- (ie. truly 'frosted') and/or metal- (ie. light-weight- and/or aluminium-) based breast-eagle (ie. 'Brustadler für Sommerrock') as was specifically intended for usage on the white-coloured summer tunics and that comes in an overall nice (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The detailed piece that shows a makers-designation (ie. logo ie. 'Raute' with an 'M'-character inside it) on its back is a 'standard-pattern'-example that has a very nice, 'frosted' and/or detailed appearance. The piece was, however, clearly worn and shows some obvious wear and/or age. It shows however no damage whatsoever: truly most of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or polished sides) are still nicely preserved and/or present (see pictures). The eagle just shows some minimal age ie. staining as to be expected. The piece comes mounted on its original (and naturally functional) pin and also retains its (often missing!) third attachment-pin (shaped like a clip - see pictures). These attractive tunic-eagles can easily be considered 'fairly scarce'. It should be noted that this pattern breast-eagle was seen on the various naval summer-tunics but could eventually also be used for a WH (Heeres) general-officers'-summer-tunic (there was no difference between the metal breast-eagles used for these two branches). Simply a truly attractive WH-breast-eagle: hard to find a better example for a more interesting price!

This is a truly attractive, so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a clearly maker- (ie. 'AS'-) marked- and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen, as was procuced by the: 'Adolf Scholze'- (ie. 'A.S.'-) company and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem only minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns a mid-war-period-, zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based specimen that retains almost all of its (fairly frosted- and greyish-silver-coloured) finish and that has a very attractive appearance, still showing pronounced detail as to be expected by a badge by this particular maker. The badge has never been cleaned nor polished (and is still also a tiny bit dirty ie. stained- ie. tarnished as mentioned above). As stated is the piece a neatly maker-marked example that shows the various characteristics - such as for example the typically ball-shaped pin-set-up, silver-coloured thin-shaped pin and/or modelled catch - as only seen on PABs as produced by the: 'Adolf Scholze'-company based in the town of Gablonz: it deals with a so-called: 'semi-hollow pattern' (as is uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '3.1.4.' according to the excellent reference-work entitled: 'The Panzer-Assault badge of WWII' by my Belgian friend Philippe de Bock). The very attractive piece naturally shows all the details as to be expected for a badge by this particular maker. It was recently found as such at a German flea-market and was never before part of a collection. Simply a very attractive and honest silver-class PAB by the 'Adolf Scholze'-company that is accordingly priced!

This is a truly attractive - and in this moderately worn- ie. used condition actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS) so-called: 'Kuban'-campaign-shield that comes mounted on its original field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based backing and that comes in an overall nice (ie. I deem used- and/or once tunic-attached-) condition. The - highly detailed and/or pronounced! - shield comes naturally complete with its original metal-based back-plate and still retains all four of its original prongs (being attached to the sides of the shield as more often encountered with original 'Kuban'-campaign-shields - see pictures). The piece misses its paper-based 'backing-cover': just some remains are visible (see pictures). This example has stunning detail and was clearly issued and worn. The shield truly retains almost all of its somewhat glossy appearance and retains a fair bit of its 'Brennlack'-type surface (showing some darkened tarnish and has never been cleaned: it does show some minimal staining as is visible on the pictures). It should however be noted that Ithe (original) 'Kuban'-campaign-shields are a bit underestimated in value and rarity. Genuine - and nicely preserved! - examples of the 'Kuban'-shield are actually not that easily encountered. I deem that this attractive example is accordingly priced!

This is a truly very attractive example of a mid- (ie. later-war-) pattern, 'SS' (ie. 'Waffen-SS') so-called: 'RzM-style' enlisted-mens'-/ie. NCO-pattern arm-eagle (ie. 'Ärmeladler für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere') as was intended for usage by the various Waffen-SS troops throughout the war and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem 'virtually mint- ie. unissued-' and/or never tunic-attached-), condition. The neat and desirable piece - which shows the machine-embroidered- and/or greyish-silver-coloured stitching on a black-coloured background - comes in a never used condition (as can be seen on the pictures). The eagle - which is not 'backed' and that is machine-embroidered on typical, black-coloured wool - is a text-book example of a so-called: 'RzM'-type, arm-eagle. The piece - that just shows some fraying on the sides as more often - is void of any age nor staining as to be expected. Simply a very attractive and of course 100% guaranteed original Waffen-SS arm-eagle which will be impossible to be upgraded!

This is an attractive example of a Waffen-SS, Estonian 'volunteer'-arm-shield (ie. 'Ärmelschild') as was intended for usage by soldiers of the: '20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (estnische Nr. 1) depicting the 'blue/black/white'-colours ie. national flag of Estonia and that comes in a 'virtually mint'- (ie. 'unissued' and/or never tunic-attached-), condition: it does show some minimal fraying on the sides (as can be seen on the pictures). The shield retains very vivid colours and is of the later (1943/1944-period-) type and originated with certainty from the Dachau clothing-depots and originates from the USA where it was stored for decades as a so-called: 'veteran bring-back'-item. Simply a nice occasion to acquire a 100% guaranteed original Estonian-related volunteer-armshield that is accordingly priced!

I recently uncovered two attractive (and fully identical) examples of a mid- (ie. later-) war-pattern 'SS' (ie. 'Waffen-SS') so-called: 'BeVo-weave-style', enlisted-mens'- ie. NCO-pattern arm-eagle (ie. 'Ärmeladler für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere') as was intended for usage by the various Waffen-SS troops throughout the war and that come both in an overall very nice- (ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued' and/or never tunic-attached-), condition. The neat and surely desirable pieces - which both show the machine-embroidered- and/or truly greyish-silver-coloured stitching on a black-coloured- and linnen-based background - came 'as straightly cut-off the role' and show some mimimal age and/or staining caused by decades of storage only. Both eagles are 'text-book' examples of the so-called: 'BeVo-woven'-type, SS-arm-eagle. My asking-price is naturally intended per single example. Simply a nice occasion to acquire a very nice - and of course 100% guaranteed original! - Waffen-SS arm-eagle for a competitive price!

This is an attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - Waffen-SS-related so-called sport-shirt emblem (of the second pattern) as was executed in the neat 'BeVo'-weave pattern that regrettably misses its (most certainly once-attached) 'RzM'-etiket and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly- ie. moderately used- and/or once sports-shirt-attached-), condition. The fairly large-sized patch (having an approximate diameter of 9,5 cms.) is executed in the neat so-called 'BeVo'-weave technique and is a fully 'text-book' example of this badge. The badge is a tiny bit stained ie. dirty simply caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage: it shows a tiny ink-spot on its back (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - piece of SS sports'-related insignia that is accordingly priced!
