Very interesting thread of discussion turns out. Here some more eagles for Heer of the first type. And one more eagle on a blue background. The seller attributed this eagle for zonderfyurer.

it did surprise me as the armband only came in late 1942 i just put it down to using old stock breast eagles or production mistakes black on white instead of dk blue on white for kmOriginally posted by Fred Green View PostComment

Yury,
To me, that white eagle on a blue background looks like a Kriegsmarine administrative breast eagle. People say that there are Sonderfuhrer breast eagles on a blue-grey background, but the background is not navy blue like your eagle (which is a very nice original).
Lloyds, I agree about that black-on-white eagle. I have seen black-on-white second pattern design eagles on those armbands, but never the first pattern design eagles. Hard to know what the first pattern eagles may have been for; it would be pure guesswork at this point.Comment

Mark, thanks, perhaps an eagle really belongs to administrative service KM.Comment
