Concerning the first eagle/shirt shown, its always nice to see the eagle sewn with the same color thread as the rest of the shirt construction (this doesn't seem to be the case here). This may help to determine if the eagle was reapplied later...

Tough call on the 1st shirt, based only on photos. I agree the eagle has been replaced. As John stated, the repro shirts are getting very scary. A couple of original shirts offered at the SOS remained unsold, and even when offered at reasonable prices as 1 certainly was, most can not tell the difference between good and bad. Not good for the hobby.Willi
Preußens Gloria!

Didn't like at first?!!! I STILL don't like the looks of it but unlike Pierre's eagle, it IS authentic. LOL!
Yes, I wasn't familiar with this one Steve, and I wonder if it was made outside of Germany. It just doesn't have the look that most eagles do, nor the tight embroidery. George Petersen had some authentic foreign produced Luftwaffe eagles that were very strange looking.
John,
Here is a strange looking bird, is it like the ones George Petersen had? Thanks.

Hi Fred,
I agree with Tony that your eagle is not like the ones George had. It's so unusual impossible to say much about it. I've never seen any like it before. If real, it could even be hand sewn by a POW, or as you suggest, foreign made. Whatever it is, it's beyond my "comfort zone" Any history on it?

John/Tony,
Thanks for the replies.
There are a few of these in a lot of tropical eagles that I am working on. Aside from these crude ones, the others all looked good. I'll post a few more tonight.
Regards,
Fred
