Unusual SS Sleeve Eagle

[Stossgruppe3]

I have just had a quick glimpse at the SS photo archives posted by Bill
Looking through just a few photos I came across this one ...
I have never seen anything like it before .... Have you ?
If so what eagle is this ?

Appears to be a bullion one
Nice touch!

Looks like an NCO spent a little money and upgraded his eagle to a nice bullion one. Matt

That's what I thought ....
Its the first time I have seen one on a NCO tunic
What do you think the cost of one of these would have been at the time ?

Interesting. I thought such upgrades were prohibited. So much for rules and regulations.

Some of us went to school to learn the curriculum
others went to look outside the square

That photo of Dickmann always intrigued me I have seen a better quality version of it and the Eagle is very strange indeed. The one sample shown is also very interesting and intricate in its embroidery.

David my previous quote was in reference to
rules and all associated boundaries.
NCO's sometimes wished for the moment of higher
recognition and propelled themselves by relevance to
insignia, thus the wearing of officer class insignia may have
been forbidden by Heinrich Himmler, most soldiers in the
feild were more closely related to what served them at
their precise moment and not the higher establishment.
So coloured waffenfarbe on the visor was prevalent
to the end of WW2 (just an example of application to "rules")
