Original German WWII Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger Paratrooper Smock Green Breast Eagle Insignia Ancient Chalkware is an American termOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a rare Luftwaffe eagle insignia, which would be attached to the breast of the Fallschirmjger Paratrooper Smocks. The HBT style weave used on these is distinctive, as is the green color, made to match the paratrooper smocks. It is in very good condition, with lovely machine embroidering. The wings are still clear, with just a little wear, and we do not see any stitch holes from it being installed on a smock,
