This is the same eagle, after I played with the brightness and contrast to try and enhance the details of the construction.

I think this is a particularly valuable thread, in good part because of the period images which clearly show details of private purchase eagles (thank you Mark K). I am including images of one of my favorite cut-offs, which is a private purchase eagle which appears to be the same type as the one posted by Glenn in post #10. What is interesting about this piece is that behind the eagle is the original BeVo eagle still applied to a piece of the tunic :Attached Files

This unteroffizier has embellished his mid-war uniform with a private purchase eagle, and wool-backed 1938 'enheits' litzen on the collar. He has also added a silver-wire t-shape eagle on dark-green backing to his M43 field cap.
Although the details on the breast eagle are not great in close up, it does show an interesting inverted triangle at the base of the swastika wreath, which is something I have not seen very often.Attached Files

I have picked up another couple of period pics showing private purchase eagles on service tunics, so here they are.
The first shows a schutze with an eagle similar to those being discussed in the 'Reddick' eagle thread (http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=782333)Attached Files
