Jump smock eagles

[SMP]

This was a very lucky find at a show today - sitting with all the normal blue wool eagles , and for the same price. A late-war, Rayon eagle as found on some makes of tan/water smocks.
This is the first one I have ever had not still attached to a piece of smock. It is good because it helps see the padded construction of this type of eagle.

Well done Steve, congratulations! You have been looking for one of these for a long time, correct?

Thanks John, yes, I have a couple of cut -offs, but could never find a loose one.

Just looked through this thread and seen two similar eagles sewn to splinter material smocks - so I take it back- not just sewn to t/w smocks !

Saw this one at Beltring. Thank you to the owner for letting me photograph it. On a rare splinter over GM third pattern smock

More on these eagles Sergey.

Great period photo, thanks for it John ! Sorry I noted it only at the moment .
Unfortunately didn't get the smock with this kind of eagle yet

[Sergey K.]

I think I can add some of my eagles, I don't have any cut off from smocks just only on them. Hope they fit well in this thread .

First one seems on identical backing like the eagle from another LW uniform , I put it close to compare.

Second is the early one .

and also couple of other early ones . All on GM backing .

Wonderful examples Sergey! That sure is a lot of GREEN!

[Sergey K.]

Thanks, John ! Yes, a lot of green but I would like mix with some early splinter
