Help with german army insignia part 05

[BrodieBartfast]

Correction, the backing was not typically cut away but rather folded or trimmed, to allow the sewing of these to the uniform, or cap, (whichever).
Ralph.

Thank you for the correction! Cloth insignia has never really been my forte.

Apologies to Hanotsri for my unwelcoming attitude, but when I saw all those posts requesting help, I just thought: 'Here we go again'. There are more and more people appearing on this forum who seem unwilling to do any of their own research, and instead expect others to do it for them. I now realise that you are probably not one of them, and for that I do apologise.

Cheers,
Steve

Hello,
These insignia are Heer for Panzertruppen and meant for the Feldmütze, they're not breast eagles.
I fixed the title and wrote something more accurate i hope
Thanks

Ah my mistake, it is a cap eagle rather than a breast eagle. The zoomed in photos got me

Hello,
here's one small giveaway to help you out in the future with such an insignia...
When you look at the horizontal feathers shown by the red arrow, if there are 4 feathers it's for the cap, if there are five, it's a breast eagle
Thanks

Hello,

As JPhilip said, It is a panzer cap eagle. It is for an enlisted man and post 1940 manufacture.
