A set of Polizei Eagle NCO. Visor Cap + Shako Eagle. Mützenadler + Tschako Adler. 1) Second pattern, police cap eagle as introduced on June 25th 1936 to replace the earlier, (circa April 1934-June 1936), first pattern cap eagle. The single piece, silver washed, die stamped, aluminum alloy construction, right facing eagle features out-stretched wings and is clutching a canted swastika in its talons. The eagle is superimposed on an embossed, vertically oval, oak-leaf wreath with the eagles wings extending beyond the outer edges of the wreath with a roughly, 55mm wingspan. The eagle and the wreath both have nice high relief detailing and the insignia is slightly convex to fit the contours of a cap. Both of the original attachment prongs are intact. 2) Second pattern, (circa June 1936-May 1945), single piece, silver washed, die stamped zinc alloy, construction, right facing eagle features out-stretched wings, clutching a wreathed, canted swastika in it’s talons and is superimposed on a vertically oval, opened top, oak-leaf wreath with the eagles wings extending beyond the outer edges of the wreath. The hollow backed reverse is a mirror image of the obverse and has both inset, soldered, screw threaded attachment prongs.

From the battlefield, with traces of hard wear. As the pictures show.
