Insignia were either embroidered, or made of aluminum or other metals. Since January 1, 1943 caps for General ranks had gilt insignia.
The Cockade & Oak Leaves Insignia was usually complemented by the Eagle Insignia, and when one was embroidered, the other one was supposed to be as well, or both were supposed to be made of metal. However, a mixture of metal and embroidery was often worn, contrary to regulations.
