Re: Kriegsmarine officer jacket
Hi Pablo,
Oakleaf Militaria have a couple of bullion breast eagles for $125 each, don't know if that's expensive, but the one is a cracker!

It actually needs a silver eagle for Admin Officers.

Re: Kriegsmarine officer jacket
You need one like this, silver wire thread on dark blue, (this example is being sold by Helmut Weitze). As Ade says, attached carefully by hand sewing, using cotton thread, none of that modern synthetic stuff and you'll have a tunic worth around $1000. Well worth spending the money on a good eagle.by Pablo
The fellow who owns this jacket is finally going to sell it to me. I would like to find a good quality silver threaded breast eagle for it as depicted in the previous post. Any suggestions as to where I can get one?
As suggested, got a silver KM eagle from H. Weitz and had the wife hand-stitch it on. Thanks, wife.
