    Afrika Korps Cloth Insignia

    Take a look at these and tell me what you think. The large oval patch is quite faded. The sun motif on it looks to have been yellow at one time. Sorry for the long load time...please be patient!

    Tropical Insignia

    The Luftwaffe breast eagle is original, the other Luftwaffe eagles are not. The Kriegsmarine cap eagle may be good, but this isn't my area of knowledge. The Sonderverband 288 patch (palm tree with sun) appears to be a reproduction.

        Can anyone post a few images of original specimens in order to compare them?

        Thanks in advance,

          Hi again Ken and Eric,

          Ken, the top left, larger Luft. eagle is real. The top center eagle is the one I refer to as a KM style. Of course, if it is KM it should be yellow; whatever it is, it is not a typical Heer tropical cap eagle.

          Eric,

          If you send me your email address I will send you some real examples of Luft. tropical breast and cap eagles that you can post.
          Best,
