Post Your Favorite Bullion Hat Insignia!

[stonemint]

Gents--
It has been a little slow on the forum, so lets see if we can liven things up a bit. Please post your favorite hand-done bullion piece of insignia.

There are 2 Rules:

1) The insignia must be attached to a cap and be original to it;

2) It cannot be flat-wire bullion (it must be the heavy gauge hand-embroidered type).

The insignia can be attached to any type of cap--Schiffchen, M-43, Visor, etc, but it must be bullion.

I have a soft-spot for Officer's Luftschutz eagles:

That is some quality bullion work there! I love the officer stuff, maybe cuz i am one, but regardless the insignia works of the germans are just amazing! I want to try to find a company that will do bullion work for my dress blues, i want my cap badge done in bullion instead of the metal device. Sweet bird! Matt

Hats From The Political Field Do Not Often Come With Embroidered Insignia. Here Is A Wreath From The Visor Hat Of Adolf Kunstmann, A High Ranking Gau Level Political Leader.

Stonemint,

Wow....someone brave enough to comment, I have killed a thread ot two by posting it before. Its acually ID'd to a particular general too and I know the guy who owns it twin.

Bob,

Stunning piece, bullion always has so much more character.

Mark,

I remember seeing your hat before, rare as heck and it looks a lot like Italian embroidery, very nice, much better than the metal badge in my opinion.

That rules me out as the SS did not use bullion insignia on their caps - at least I've yet to see an SS bullion cap eagle I thought was real.

However, I'll throw in Francesco's Italian SS bullion eagle as a nice unique piece. (From the the Italian insignia thread on the SS forum)
