M36 panzerjager feldbluse with period portrait

[Bob Hritz]

I have always wondered if these breast eagles were made in France. I have an SS officer sleeve eagle of the same maker, in GOLD. I know only Sepp Dietrich wore a gold eagle, but this was was brought back by an American GI.

Does anyone know who made these eagles?

No, but I have the same pattern eagle on a tailormade tunic, made by "Hammer & Mensendieck" in Bielefeld. The original owner died 1944, so the eagle on my example is earlier than that.
