More brass.....

Very nice brass stuff from Braunschweig ! Do you have a detailed picture of the item in the middle ? Thank you!

Hello GrenadierKarl,
I think I have a skull on a visor cap which is made of brass plated with another
material.

I like the skull but are you sure it is an untouched headgear? The color of the eagle looks like sand color (Afrika)?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Karl, no worries on the eagle. Early Officer's flatwire cap eagles and breast eagles were backed with this colour

Cheers, Ade.

This type of breast eagles backed in light brown were found on early uniforms, so called "Uniform alter Art". That means that they were used until ~36.

You can find them most on the former Reichswehr uniform.

Karl : I'm not an association member, so I can't post pictures. Maybe I send you some via Email ?
