Help with eagle size

[grndevil44]

Wondered if anyone could help me,

I am looking for an eagle for a shirt I have, the dimensions of the one that was originally on it (from the outline) has an 8cm wingspan and from bottom of swaz to head of eagle is just over 3.5 cms

I've tried a regular breast eagle but the dimensions are just too large, I just contacted a forum member about a cap eagle but the wingspan is 6.5cm (thanks Jerry)

Am I looking at an officers breast eagle by chance?

So I am politely asking if anyone could do some measurements for me of officers examples or cap ones if they too come in larger size's

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

Can you post pictures of the shirt, as that might aid your search?

Hi John,

Hard to say from a ghost, but in the one picture the outline looks a bit larger than you have highlighted, though as you have it in hand I'm sure you are correct.

Which probably deserves a non standard French eagle.

Sturmann is right.
Its a French M 35 Shirt, but modified for WH. And these are quite uncommon today.

the ghost of an eagle is visible, I measured from where I can see the stitch marks, Jerry you are right though could well be a bit larger each way by a few mm, an officer version on collectors guild was a little to long by a few mm, but height was not mentioned

should say if anyone has an eagle that has this apx dimension I won't bug you via pm for it , was just curious to see what I would be looking for
