Very nice!

 

The backing on your white top Luftwaffe cap eagle is something I have never seen before. Is this a lead, or zinc, casting that the maker has sewn the embroidered eagle to?

I believe it is a steel plate with zinc coating. I see other Summer cap eagles with these plates, I believe its purpose is just to support the eagle onto the visor.

I'm a little late to the game on this one, but that's a very nice collection!! I really like the white background. I typically go with the black background on my silver grade badges like my NS Juncker here. 

 

Thanks!

James
