Re: What was this eagle used for?
The badge is indeed a breast eagle for the Nazi backed WW1 Veterans association, the National Socialist State Soldiers League, the NSRKB or Nationalsozialistisches Reichskriegerbund .
Cheers, Ade.

Re: What was this eagle used for?
Thanks for the info guys. I see it has no RZM on it, just Ges. Gesch. Does that mean it is old - before RZM came into being?

Actually, no.
Ges. Gesch means "Gesetzlich Geschützt" or Registered patent/design/trademark.
The NSRKB was formed in 1938. The RZM pre dates this by almost a decade.
RZM marks were only applied to items of insignia which were made for elements of the NSDAP (such as SA, SS, HJ, NSKK etc etc). I think you will find even though this organisation had Nationalsozialistisches in it's title, it was not a Party organisation per se.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for this info, Ade. I guess I didn't think about the NSRKB NOT being a part of the party.
