Glad it turned out for ddavis I think got wrapped up in the eagle and not the method it was attached to the cammo meant to decieve that was more or less my point as FB said even this old dealer had some good things and I am sure a lot of his insignia was ok also as the above eagle turned out. That is why I don't comment much on SS stuff but I think this has been a informative thread and we all learned a lot apoloigies to all and especially youth collector. timothy
Good to see that the eagle has been confirmed as an original.

Whatever its just an opinion.
Not unusual at all. These were only officially worn on caps for about three months before the order came from Himmler for them to be removed .most were probably depot found by GI's .. Although regulations weren't always followed. It for safety reasons, so snipers couldn't spot them as easily. Camo shirts were not issued with these but some soldiers field applied them.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
