Hi Kamil, thanks for posting your textbook Possin & Dopping Luftwaffe eagle, very nice - congratulations. here is another from fellow WAF member Thomas's amazing eagle collection.
Cheers,
Michael
Here is another catalog (circa 1938) scan...the one at the bottom center looks similar.
Regards,

Nice piece....I haven't come across any of these. Great catalog reference. I wonder what the significance is between gold and silver.

I believe it’s a silver finish. The pics are very dark. If I’m able to get it (fingers crossed) I’ll of course upload the high quality photos this piece deserves.
"Interesting to note that 2388 has a static swastika."
Hi Mil,
Yes, I agree! It establishes that historic pieces were highly-regarded and permitted to be duplicated within the period -- pieces such as the Schmid-Ehmen FHH Eagle, for example. (The eagle in item #2388 in this catalog is loosely-based upon that design, IMO.) I always enjoy revisiting period catalogs!

A blessed Easter holiday to you, my friend,

Happy Easter, James.
I agree. This also includes the DE poletops that continued to have the static swastika.
