Product Description: This Army Heer Adler Stickpin is a fine example of insignia worn by members of the German Army (Heer) during the Third Reich era. The stickpin features a finely detailed Wehrmacht eagle clutching a swastika, perched atop a laurel wreath. Crafted in silvered metal, the intricate design highlights the high level of craftsmanship typical of period military insignia. Measuring approximately 15mm in width, the eagle is mounted on its original knurled stickpin shaft, a hallmark of authentic Third Reich-era stickpins. The silver finish has developed a subtle, natural patina, indicative of its age and authenticity. The reverse is unmarked, which is consistent with many Heer stickpins of this style. The pin remains straight and firmly attached, making this piece an excellent addition to any collection of WWII-era insignia. This Army Heer Adler Stickpin is in excellent condition.
Historical Description: In Germany, during and between the World Wars, stickpins were generally made for wear on civilian clothing, by either men or women. Whereas most civil and military awards intended for uniform wear were in the form of medals or pin-on badges, the simple stickpins were mostly for adorning lapels of suits. A huge variety of these stickpins were produced. There were pins that anyone could buy, that were patriotic or showed support for some specific cause. There were also various membership pins for military, paramilitary, civil and political organizations. Military and civil awards were also produced in stickpin versions. These took the form of miniature versions of the awards, and could either show one individual award, or all of the awards that one individual had received. In many cases, German stickpins were made with the same standard of quality as the full-size medals and badges.
