WW2 German SA Coffee Can Hat Cap Eagle

The WW2 German SA Coffee Can Hat Cap Eagle is an insignia associated with the Sturmabteilung (SA), a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party during the Third Reich period. This eagle cap badge was typically affixed to the front of the so-called “Coffee Can” field cap, a distinctive style of headgear worn by SA personnel, notably during the 1930s and early 1940s. The badge consists of a stylized eagle with outstretched wings clutching a swastika in its talons, executed in stamped metal with dimensional detailing. The attachment method commonly involved prongs or pins fixed to the reverse for mounting on the cap. Such insignia were part of the standardized uniform regulations intended to denote organizational affiliation and rank. This example represents a specific aspect of Third Reich militaria and is relevant to collectors and historians studying uniforms and insignia from the World War II era.
