German Cap Badge

#1

Post by GDmortarman » 07 Jul 2014, 18:50

[attachment=0]P7060045.JPG[/attachment]My neighbor has a few cap eagles with an Iron Cross in the middle of the eagles chest. The eagle is the same as the Heer cap eagle. The neighbors father was in the 7th US army Corps HQ and picked up about 5 or six of these, Plus a NSDAP Gorget. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure with timeline?

I am not sure yours is a genuine TH era relic.Weird lack of detail, and looks like wrong mounting prongs, but I am not sure.((In other words I am clueless ))

The pic I took is not great. But this gentleman has passed away and all are original as per my neighbors. He got them in 1945 when over in France. I will try to get some better pics also.
