Original scarce Waffen-SS sleeve eagle (Ärmeladler für Mannschaften und Unterführer der Waffen-SS), produced by the Flemish Reitz company. Desirable BeVo-woven type features the typical greyish-silver machine-embroidered weave on a black linen backing. This example remains in near mint, unissued condition, showing only minimal storage wear and light staining from decades of age. The piece was cut straight from the roll, as evident in the edges, and is a textbook original of the sought-after Reitz production run. Condition as seen.
