What eagle insignia for Heer crusher?

What type of eagle insignia is the norm for a Heer crusher?

[enorepap]

Hallo Dierk

As for regulation, on a real field cap for officers - old pattern M34 (Feldmutze alter Art) you can find:

1. an oakleaf wreath cut out of white badge cloth, 7x4,5 cm. with a flat national cockade in the center. No eagle.

2. from 1935 only in the machine woven pattern: the oakleaf wreath in aluminum thread and national cockade on a bluish-dark green base. The wreath for officials with NCO rank made of white cotton. Eagle on the upper front of BeVo machine-woven pattern, flat silver wire on dark green.

You must also consider that during the war intervened countless cosmetic changes at the hands of the individual, most frequently:

- addition of the chincords
- normal schirmmutzen with chincords and buttons removed
- etc.

I hope I was helpful

And to illustrate Marcello's post, here is what these BeVo flatwire insignia look like. This is a general officer's crusher before the insignia were changed to gold so the insignia are identical to those of regular officers...
