Title Fake tropical SS BeVo cap eagle, 1938 pattern
Nationality German/Pakistan?
Period 20th century

This is a modern copy of the classic eagle in rayon produced by BeVo of Wuppertal in 'sand' colour for the Mediterranean theatre. It would have been worn on a sand-coloured schiffchen or possibly on the Afrika Korps kepi. Perhaps one of the rarest of the SS cap eagles, for obvious reasons mostly found on sliced up pieces of roll like this.

It measures just over 5.5cm across, wing tip to wing tip, and is obviously cut from a roll, possibly looted from a tailor's shop or SS barracks after the war.

Briquet has arrived, and I'm very satisfied.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
