    The little A and DRGM was difficult to find, at first.

      Last shot. Not the prettiest but I'm a real sucker for good Luft Breast Badges.

        Quite mindblowing for me. I love these eagles and get emotional when seeing members get a hold of one. I trully consider these to me THE original aluminum summer tunic eagles.

          I have no valid explanation for the gilding but I like this eagle...... after looking the pics again the patina shows (maybe the pics) some gold finish - what about one gilded in gold for general but really washed/worn?
          I need another coffee.

                John, truly a perfect example! Yuri, I have to admit these breast eagles are something else. Francois, I'm having my first cup!

                Anyone figure out the gilting on mine??? It's very evident in the wings.

                    That's more than I could have expected! He's going right to the top row.

                    P. 292 Volume 1 of Angolia's Uni. & Tradit. of the Luftwaffe, " The national emblem was pressed of aluminum-colored (gold-colored for general officers) metal, and was pinned through two or three white thread eyelets...in such a way that the swastika covered the buttonhole."
