Police Officer's Grade Sleeve Eagles

[Ernst-H]

Conspicuously missing from this discussion are the gold Wasserschutzpolizei and general's sleeve eagles. I have never been able to acquire examples of these. Here is a photo of a WSP NCO's bullion cap eagle which will give the viewer an idea of what these might look like.

Thanks for looking, and I would encourage anyone having other examples to share to please add to this post.

Best regards,

Bill, interesting eagle and discussed many times before. Just wanted to note that I believe it to be original but not for an NCO but for a WSP Officer. Officers were entitled to wear the oversized cap-eagle; nco's wore the standard size.

As you can see in the picture of my non-regulation WSP-NCO-bullion-cap eagle, still attached to the cap, is that if an NCO would wear Bullion it could be done in standard size.

That is why I believe your oversized eagle to be Officers. Size does matter

Ernst, the WSP sleeve insignia on the previous page is very, very nice!

And yet another from the sleeve, although no beauty queen:

Okay, I can't let you guys have all the fun. So I'll meekly submit my only two bullion pieces. Heck I paid enough for them to be proud of these darlings.

Now if you will excuse me, I'm on my way back to drool over the General, WSP & White Summer tunic birds..................

Ernst, the WSP sleeve insignia on the previous page is very, very nice!
Another from the sleeve and a favorite of mine:

Dave, That white one is awesome, not only because of knowing that it is attached to the original uniform.

Thanks Ernst! What's also awesome, to me anyway, is that it's attributed to an officer and it came with several other effects of his. A great history project!

There are some truly wonderful offerings here on these Pages! Butch

Example from a tunic sold long ago Looks a little bland from straigh-on...

[Dave C.]

But I thought it was one of the best detailed I ever owned

Dear Ernst,

That eagle in post #30 is quite impressive. The hidden stitching is not often seen. A professional application to be sure.

Dave and Andrew,

Really sharp looking birds. The shiny bullion accents really add "bling" (God I hate that term) to these eagles.

Dave,

Very nice. A REAL crest headed eagle. This is the type the Pakistanis like to copy, but yours is a really nice original. Thanks for posting.
