How were these used exactly? I never understood, did the thread go over them??? What's the difference between the 2?
Thanks for sharing!

The top one looks correct to me, but I think the lower one is for a Heer eagle who has had his "wings clipped"...

Hi Arran .
I looked at the Heer eagle in the samples and it is the same except for the cliped wings . I figure that it may be for a heavy bullion type eagle and the other was for a lighter thread more detailed eagle . That is my guess . I have another posting of more in the wehrmacht uniform section .
Thank You for looking and comments.
