The eagle is made specially for our shop, it bears the logo "Replika" and have a smooth geometry and fine details. We have been creating copies of the insignia for many years, and they are appreciated by reenactors all over the world.

The patch is woven with yellow thread on the sea wave colour background (the background is more blue than green, but this is not a classic ultramarine blue, but a very cold blue color). The color of the stripe can be changed with diluted acrylic paint (special acrylic paints for fabric are sold in stores for artists, they are diluted with water and perfectly tone the fabric, allow you to adjust the color).

How to sew the patch? There are 2 ways.

I. Method for museum copies. Trim the excess along the contour of the insignia with a margin of 5 mm. Tuck these 5 mm under the insignia and iron (you may use glue). Fasten the stripe on the clothes with a few stitches of threads of bright color, so it sits smoothly. Sew the stripe along the contour with small stitches (seam around the edge). Remove the bright thread that fixed the insignia.

II. Way to for reenactment (easier). Remove threads from the inside of the stripe using the scissors or razor to make it thinner. Glue the patch onto thin paper or fabric using tailor's glue or PVA. Dry it using an iron (if the glue is liquid then you should use as little glue as possible, otherwise it can leak on the front side). Cut the patch along the contour with no margin. Fasten the stripe on the clothes with a few stitches of threads of bright color, so it sits smoothly. Sew the stripe along the contour with small stitches (seam around the edge). Remove the bright thread that fixed the insignia.
