I have always disliked the look of the eagle on the RK GAB and was wondering if anyone had some eagles on original badges that they thought were particularly ugly.

Hymmenn (GAB,PAB) for sure as well as the RK & AS PAB eagle is rather ugly IMO. JFS eagle on the 25 & 50 numbered badges are pretty ugly as well. The list goes on and on...GWL GAB.

Anything Hymenn. Though it be Kreigs, check out minesweepers badge. The eagles head looks like a balloon.

I always thought the B&NL eagle design on their GABs was pretty dorky.

The early RK GAB eagle head was actually fairly decent looking. The RK die developed a flaw in the eagle's beak which explains why so many (most in fact) of the RK GABs appear odd-looking. RK ignored the problem and continued to pump out huge numbers of GABs with the flaw, and so its commonly thought that RK's are supposed to look the way you know them. Not so. RK's badge design was fine. They just let a die flaw sully their image.

For me, the Boxer Dog looking Adler of the Carl Wild example is the ugliest IMO
