Germany, Wehrmacht. An Unusual Italian-Made Uniform Eagle for an Albanian Volunteer Auction Archive with evidence of slight moisture(Brustadler fr Freiwilliger). Constructed of black wool, the obverse bearing a hand embroidered silver grey double headed Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed swastika, unmarked, measuring 105 mm (w) x 46 mm (h), an unofficial and unusual example demonstrating typical characteristics of Italian manufacture and likely intended for distribution to Albanian Axis volunteers, in near extremely fine condition.
