BACKGROUND: The Luftwaffe pattern national eagle was originally introduced for wear by Fliegerschaft, (Pilot Base), personnel of the DLV, Deutscher Luftsportsverband, (German Air Sports Association), the clandestine, civilian, forerunner of the Luftwaffe on August 18TH 1934 and was officially adopted for wear by all Luftwaffe personnel on March 1ST 1935. The original, short winged, first pattern national eagle was utilized until a, slightly modified, second pattern national eagle was introduced in late 1936 or early 1937. Regulations dictated that the national eagle was to be worn on almost all headgear. The Weimar Reichswehr, (National Defence Force, Circa 1919 1933), era oval black, red and gold national cockade was replaced with a circular national cockade in black, white, and red on March 14TH 1933 and was utilized through out the Third Reich period on all soft caps with minor manufacturing variations.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Machine embroidered, national tri color cockade features three concentric rings in black, white and red cotton threads on a Luftwaffe blue/grey wool base with an internal padding.
