This is a neat - and actually fairly rarely encountered - example of a linnen-based arm-eagle (ie. 'Ärmeladler') as executed in the so-called: 'BeVo'-weave-pattern entilted: 'Ostbahn', as was (presumably) intended for usage by an official who served within the: 'Deutsche Reichsbahn' (ie. the: 'WVD im Osten' or: 'Wehrmacht-Verkehrsdirektion im Osten') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. These eagles - as woven in golden-yellow linnen on a black-coloured- (and also linnen-based background) were worn on the darker-blue-coloured service-tunics and/or uniforms of the various officials within this organisation. This is a special arm-insignia-piece that was (presumably) intended for the staff working at one of the occupied railway centres in (eastern) occupied Europe. There were several of these centres (= 'Reichsbahndirektionen' or RBD) throughout Europe. This piece was presumably intended for a member of the: 'WVD im Osten' (or: 'Ostbahn' ie. 'Wehrmacht-Verkehrsdirektion im Osten'). The piece - showing a left-facing eagle as to be expected - comes in a 'virtually mint'- and/or never tunic-attached, condition: it is just a tiny bit stained ie. wrinkled as caused by decades of storage only. Simply a nice - and with certainty not that commonly encountered - 'Deutsche Reichsbahn'-related arm-eagle!

This is a truly attractive - and/or fully matching and with certainty rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) officers'-type-, 'cyphered' shoulderboard-pair (showing a rarely observed, regular-sized- and/or golden-toned 'GD'-cypher-pair attached) as was intended for - and clearly used by! - a: 'Leutnant eines Infanterie-Abteilung' who served within the famous 'GrossDeutschland'-division and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderboards - which are piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour - are executed in the 'smooth-type'-wool as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The shoulderboards measure approximately 10,7 cms. in length each and come mounted on their (unusually encountered- and/or smaller-sized-) officers'-type tongues (which are executed in greyish-coloured 'braid'). The boards - which have smooth-woolen-based 'backings' and/or silver-greyish- (ie. truly 'sub-dued'-) 'upperdecks' as to be expected - have a pair of blue-coloured- and/or thin-shaped-, so-called: regimental indicator-cords (ie. 'Laschen') period-attached (see pictures). The pair has as stated fairly dull silver-coloured 'upperdecks' and was most certainly a pair that was intended for usage on a regular (ie. front-used-) tunic. As stated above have the boards a pair of (matching-, regular-sized- and/or neatly bronze-golden-toned- (albeit somewhat tarnished-) so-called: 'GD'-cyphers attached denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Leutnant' (or: lieutnant). The neat cyphers retain a somewhat faded- and/or golden-toned- ie. tarnished finish and one the cyphers misses one of its prongs (see pictures). The pair was clearly issued and worn as such (as can be deducted from the present condition). This pair originated from a larger cloth- ie. insignia-collection I recently acquired. Simply a very attractive and actually rarely encountered, 'cyphered' officers'-type 'GD'-shoulderboard-pair that belonged to an infantry-officer who served within a famous WH 'elite'-regiment!

The attractive - and with certainty not that easily found - HJ- (ie. 'Hitlerjugend'-) related day-badge (ie. 'tinnie' or: 'Veranstaltungsabzeichen') is executed in darkened, bronze-toned- (and I deem tin- ie. copper-based) metal and depicts the Münich-based: 'Feldhernnhalle' and eagle-device and text: 'Hitlerjugend - München - 1923-1933' (and sub-title: 'Und Ihr habt doch gesiegt!') and was as such intended to commemorate the ten years of existance of the HJ in the town of München, held in the year 1933. The shield-shaped badge - having an approximate height of 5,2 cms. - shows some normal wear and/or moderate age - and comes naturally mounted on its functional pin-/catch set-up and has IMO never been cleaned nor polished: it shows some minimal staining (as can be seen on the pictures) but is still very detailed and/or pronounced. The 'tinnie' - which shows a makers'-designation on the back of its pin that reads: 'H. Wittmann - München' - retains most of its typical darkened- and bronze-coloured finish. Simply a great occasion to acquire an attractive - and with certainty scarcely seen! - HJ-related so-called: 'Tagungs- o. Veranstaltungsabzeichen'!

(or: 'Deutscher Reichskriegerbund' aka 'Kyffhäuserbund') enlisted-mens'- (ie. NCO-) type cap-eagle (ie. 'Mützenadler für Mitglieder der Deutscher Reichskriegerbund') that shows a black-coloured- and neatly painted iron cross-symbol and that comes in a very nicely preserved- (I deem 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. The piece shows a clearly present makers'-designation (that reads: '1 Ges.Gesch.') and retains all its three (also aluminium-based) pins (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece - which is truly very detailed and/or pronounced - has a very nice 'shiny' appearance (but was never cleaned and has an undamaged painted iron cross-symbol as can be clearly seen on the pictures). I deem that this attractive cap-eagle is accordingly priced!
