Title Fake tropical SS BeVo sleeve eagle, 1938 pattern
Nationality German/Pakistan?
Period 20th century

This is a modern copy of the classic eagle in rayon produced by BeVo of Wuppertal in 'sand' colour for the Mediterranean theatre. It would have been worn on a sand-coloured tunic. Perhaps one of the rarest of the SS sleeve eagles, for obvious reasons mostly found on sliced up pieces of roll like this.

It measures 7.2cm across, wing tip to wing tip, and is obviously cut from a roll.

This is called the 'bigfoot' fake .

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
