Hey guys, could I get an ID of each of these cap insignias?
Rare or common examples?
Any info would be of great assistance!
Cheers,

Hi , fellow "great white north(er) "!
Probably not 100% complete but it will give you an idea...
1) 1939 style NSDAP eagle in silver in what appears to be zink - worn mostly by SA in silver
also exist in gold (NSDAP)
2) 1936 (or 37) style BEAMTE (admin/goverment) eagle also late zink with integrated clip-worn by Postal, forest etc also exists in gold colour for other outfits
3) Army style wreath with integrated cockade in what looks like aluminum. Mostly army (Heere) but also worn by specialized units (NSKK transport, Red cross) and
later veterans organization
4)Central cockade as used in 3 above but also used as a stand-alone by various organizations (Police etc) This one seems like an alu/steel or alu/zink specimen
Not sure if eagles are marked (very late ones are not necessarily marked) but you seem to have 4 good original common pieces with all attachements intact

Hi JC,
Much appreciated!
Just wanted to make sure I know what I was listing before I do so, as there seems to be soooo many different eagles!
Thanks, eh!

No problem
Yes there are a lot of variations, with slightly different designs, in different metals, depending on manufacturer, period etc which makes this stuff interesting to collect for the guy that cant afford the "big stuff"
Take care
