WW2 German SA Coffee Can Cap Hat Eagle

The WW2 German SA Coffee Can Cap Hat Eagle is an original insignia associated with the Sturmabteilung (SA), a paramilitary organization active in Germany during the early to mid-20th century. This eagle was typically affixed to the front of the so-called “coffee can” cap, a style of headgear adopted by SA members, particularly in the 1930s. The eagle design features outstretched wings, a swastika in its talons, and detailed feathering, reflecting the visual symbolism commonly used in Third Reich military and paramilitary regalia. Constructed from stamped metal, usually with silver or nickel plating, the eagle attaches to the cap through prongs on the reverse side. These insignia varied slightly in size and finish depending on the period and manufacturer. This cap eagle is a representative example of SA uniforms and holds historical significance regarding pre-war and wartime German paramilitary organizations and their insignia.
