WW2 German Army Officers Cap Eagle

The WW2 German Army Officers Cap Eagle is a military insignia used by officers of the German Army (Heer) during the Second World War. Produced from stamped metal, typically aluminum or zinc, the cap eagle features an outstretched eagle clutching a swastika, symbolizing national insignia of the period. This emblem was worn above the visor on the peaked service caps (Schirmmütze) of officers and was designed as a key component in distinguishing rank and branch within the armed forces. The detailing often includes precise feathering on the eagle and distinct definition around the swastika and wreath. Variations exist depending on the manufacturer and year of production, but the overall configuration remained consistent from 1935 through 1945. The cap eagle is frequently sought by collectors and historians for its role in illustrating the uniform and organizational structure of the WW2 German Army officer corps.
