Waffen SS Sleeve Eagle First Pattern

This rare SS Sleeve Eagle First Pattern, worn till 1939 is constructed on a black wool machine embroidered.   The badge depicts the SS German National Eagle with outstretched wings clutching a wreathed swastika, in its talons embroidered with silver grey thread.  The badge measures 90 mm (w) x 42 mm (h).  This beautiful example is unissued, in an extremely fine condition which would be hard to replace or upgrade.
