officers breast eagle question

[waffendude]

picked up a few pieces today
have a question about the bird on the bottom right.
tightly woven silver wire... thread... assume it's a good officer eagle
what period is it, or what "model" tunic was it removed from
little overcast so the silver isn't showing very well in the pic

thanks

Hi, its a 2nd pattern or M36 eagle. Not sure when they stop making these, but any TR tunic might have one, even combat tunics. These can also be used by ems/ncos on dress tunics.

Nice original cut off....The factory machine sewn eagle (it was an EM field jacket) is underneath it,the flatwire eagle was hand sewn over the top.

Thought it seemed kind of heavy and thick
