What year was the machine woven SS sleeve eagle introduced?

[Zauberflöte]

My question is for other ranks sleeve eagles specifically.

Thank you.

And subsequently, would this eagle be one of the earlier or later machine woven versions?

And how can I tell?

For those that have missed my question and who can help out.

Thank you.

Nobody???

In all the literature I have this topic seems to be avoided as well, still this must be documented I assume?..

Thank you!

The eagle posted in post #2; would that be a mid war example in your opinion? (obviously the tunic it is currently sewn on is late war).

Not so late, is a common version from wartime.pics you can see it also before mid war.
