This example is an earlier example with a very desirable stitching pattern. It features a fine machine embroidered eagle, with gray thread on a forest green base, the standard Heer colors during the mid war period. Below this is a machine embroidered bullion National Tri-Color Cockade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no markings left in the interior. The size is roughly a 58.
