Hi Mitch

Very unusual bird but well made & I like it
Its certainly not a KM eagle (on an orange background!) and I'm certainly no expert but I think you stand much better chances of getting opinions on the "Political Organizations" or the "Police & Civil Organizations" forums (my guess would be "Political" for what its worth...possibly SA high leader?)

Your photos should also be imbedded in the thread so they dont dissapear over time

Best regards

Ah... so it is an SA eagle? Not Wehrmacht ? I am so unschooled in these...

If memory serves me right (and it doesnt always, these days) I've only seen one on a similar colour background eons ago and I think it was related to SA. Praubal may be closer to the mark in saying it could be judicial (Reich court judges?) but either way definitly not your garden variety KM or anything Wehrmacht for that matter and worth persuing on appropriate forums for better opinions (than mine)

Take care

It is the RONALD McDONALD eagle for the early 1939-1941
Berlin franchise worn on the yellow & red outfit!

I believe Jean-Claude is correct. A nice SA high leader eagle. I believe these were to replace the wearing of their armbands.

Nice bird!!

Wow! Thanks to all of you for the help.
So, what kind of value do these have? I've never seen anything like it for sale so I don't know.

Thanks, mitch
