ITEM #7144

#7144-FIRE POLICE SLEEVE EAGLE: Interesting example of a Fire service sleeve eagle, cut off a tunic sleeve with a portion of the uniform cloth still attached. The oval badge measures 4-1/4 inches tall and is of fine machine embroidered carmine pink thread on dark blue wool. For the Hessian town of Dillenburg, the badge was hand sewn and is still attached to an equal section of dark blue uniform wool. There is a torn section to the upper right top to both the badge and its underlying cloth, apparently from when it was cut off. Remains an interesting example, showing light wear & age, Condition II- $95.00
