I think it is for the shoulder boards of a political uniform; there is also an embroidered version of it. The original set should include a left and a right. Sometimes it was used also as an headgear device

Hoops! Somehow I have read 2 inch: if it is only 2 cm it is definitely for political / MVSN collar tabs; also in this case there is a left and a right

Cheers

Correct - I have 2 visors from my grandfather, he was in forestry during 3rd reich, the eagle is the same.

Patrick, did the ones that you grandfather had were in silver or gold gilt that Jacques posted?

I think the silver ones were also used by postal (or another smaller variant) which existed according to some catalogues.

The eagle is generic for 'Political/Civil Organisations' some were silver coloured others gold.
