    luftwaffe eagle device

    Hello,

    I'm Rik from the Netherlands and I just discovered the world of militaria.
    I recently visited a militaria show and bought this luftwaffe (double)eagle device.
    Not knowing what it was but it just looked nice.
    I've spent a lot of time trying to discover what it is.
    I came across this site and now I think I'm getting close

    Here some pictures:





    I think it were two single luftwaffe devices for a ribbon- or medalbar that are solded together. One has a gold look and one a silver.

    What do you guys think about this?
    And not very unimportant, are they real?

    Thanks!

      Hi Rik & welcoome to the Forum

      your birds look OK to me as well for the smaller version used on ribbon bars as per Ron's great picture. I cant say I have seen many 1st (or second) pattern luft birds attached together like yours but its a very common practice for Heer/KM style eagles (because of the wider wing span)

      Nice find

        Thx Ron and JC!

        So there are different lw bird patterns?
        Where can I find an overview of the different patterns?

        Any ideas on how or where my birds were worn?

          Some fundamentals of the TR’s symbolism: the Luftwaffe nat’l emblem introduced first in 1935 (first or early pattern) ) has a droop tail. In 1937 it was replaced by a second and definitive pattern, the tail protruding backwards.

            As Marco indicated yours are the first pattern eagles.


            As far as I know, only the first pattern eagles were used for medal bar and ribbon bar devices.......

              Both thx again!

              And what about the different colours/finishing (gold / silver)?
              Are they for different medal- or ribbonbars?

                  Silver/gold denotes different (service) years:

                  Couple of examples on (Tom's) medal bars:

                      Hi Ron

                      I found this medal bar picture in my archives...I remembered seeing a few 2nd pattern luft eagles on ribbon bars and medal bars over the years but agree they are not as common as the first type (droop tail)

                      Regards

                      JC
