Heer EM Eagle

[Mint]

One of my Heer EM Eagle's can anyone confirm if this is M36?

Hello,

It appears to be an original 2nd pattern Heer enlisted man's breast eagle. Too bad that it has been cut so close to the edge. It's application for use on a tunic is worthless.

In this case it is alright, since I intend to display it in a frame and not on a tunic. Thanks for the reply!

Also, does anyone know the difference between BeVo and Flatwire? Is there a pre-existing thread on the subject?

[Fred Green]

Here are some examples of flatwire eagles.

Hello,

Flatwire eagles pretty much used the same pattern as the standard Heer BeVo eagles . the only real difference is that they used a flatwire in construction. Here is a link that shows most of the standard Heer eagles: Favorite BeVo Eagles

Flatwire eagles pretty much used the same pattern as the standard Heer BeVo eagles.

Thanks for the follow up information, the eagle I have is a BeVo or Flatwire?

Flatwire is made with metal thread (hence wire) for officers, and regular cotton thread for enlisted.
BeVo is a type of style manufacture and can use cotton or wire depending on officer or enlisted use.
