Alain, I don't think you want something like that, in my opinion this is another repro. Try searching for police pennant. I'll also see if I can find one of the threads.

Found one -

Sleeve Eagle

I agree with Dave. I would pass on having this one in my collection.

Thanks, Randy

Hello
I don't want to get it but I have never seen an eagle like that before and mainly the color of the cross.
Thanks Dave for the link.

Yes, the insignia posted above is a recognized reproduction.

That said there is at least one example of a period sleeve eagle with such a black swastika.

The eagle shown below is original. It is my opinion that it was produced for use by the Austrian GemPo shortly after the takeover and before they could be issued the new M1936 uniforms. This eagle has been discussed on this forum in the past, so I will not go through my arguments again here. It is on BLACK, not blue and has a black swastika which is almost not visible. The insignia that began this thread may be an attempt to reproduce this type of eagle.
