    I personally think that these are fake, boxes full of these at every street corner few years ago.
    The same " haul " as the luft pith helmet eagles with closed gap in the swas IMO.

      They are original from the Berlin BEROLINA hoard discovered more
      than 30 years ago ...
      Full boxes of them are around , as well as the zinc pith helmet badges LW or WH .
      They were so many on the market that some says they can't be good !
      Zinc late war flat quality , some were restored as the pins welding was corroded .

        Thank you Jos and Nick,
        So I have to make my own opinion....
        Price is good, I think I'll take the risk.
        Thank you.

          The pith helmet eagles are fantasy design, plus I tested one in a flame and they melt like butter in 2 seconds.
          Kinda lead mixed with some other pot metal.
          The prongs are soft soldered, using hard solder will melt the insignia, plus there are traces of a modern technique mold.
          First they tried to sel them as good, but now they can be found for 15 euro.
          Berolina hoard ? Uhhu ..
          Pith helmet eagles, pith shields, army cap eagles, skulls etc. of this hoard are all bad.
          Many people got burned, especially with pith helmets with that particular design luft eagle on it.

          I wouldn't take the risk, because they're bad.
