    Looks okay. I've got one like it; this one looks a tad more pristine.

      I agree. I have an identical emblem. Your's matches mine, which I have always assumed is an original. These were issued to lower level administrative officials. However, it would be interesting to hear from other members.

        Matovsky's correct of course. These weren't for the higher ranks.

        They aren't the easiest insignia to find. Here's the reverse of mine.

          In my opinion these are fakes. There was a long discussion on these Foreign cap eagles or sometimes called rather "Eastern Peoples' Eagle", "RMBO Eagle" or the "Diplomats' Eagle". The RZM legislation was not required for these occupied states and the RZM stamp would seem irrelevant. I'd like to hear what others think.

                          Here is a link to a discussion in regard to this eagle:

                          http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ght=RMBO+Eagle

                          And here is a copy of a page from the 1973 catalog of W.W.#2 LTD as referenced in the discussion.

                            Ron, Did Delta also produce these copies?

                            And yes, the original thread as pointed out by Ron is still there but the discussion somehow died out.
                            Im hoping more members will comment on this eagleform.

                            We also cannot be certain if the one Jon-Olav posted is a legit eagle or a period add on.
                            It also doesnt show the back.

                              IMHO, it is real. These were made for Generalgouvernement officials in occupied Poland under Hans Frank.
                              Here is another example:
