Coastal Artiillery Breast Eagles

[robcox1]

I would like to hear opinions on these 2 birds. I have searched the threads on coastal artillery eagles, but the photos are gone from most of them so they aren't much use to me.

Thanks in advance for replies! i have my ideas regarding them, but would like to get confirmations.

I'm unsure about the first one; the base material looks a bit odd on my screen. Whatever it is sewn to is really odd...

The second eagle is a poor fake.

some comments

I'm very interested in KM eagles but I'm fairly recent to this field, and limited by lack of 'in hand' experience. That first BEVo style looks mighty strange -- the small wing feathers are of different widths, whole shape and weave seems different from what I've seen so far (in an admittedly limited experience), and that backing it's sewn onto is very odd -- is that a woven wood lattice? - which conveniently prevents you from seeing the back of the weave.
Have you seen the good one in the thread:

Your bullion eagle background material is an odd bright green shade (unless it's a camera issue).
Best regards,

Yes, it is weird, and yes, it really is a woven wood lattice! It wouldn't look out of place on something Japanese, it appears to be bamboo. The diamond pattern on the breast is what really stands out to me when compared to other bevo birds, but I see what you are saying about the feathers.

That really is the color that it is. I was pretty sure it was a Pakastani fake, but I couldn't find any threads about them that still had photos.

I picked these up back when I just concentrated on collecting guns and didn't really know much of anything about TR stuff, so no great shock. The funny thing is I still really like the bevo one just because it is so odd, even if it is a fake. It gives me half a mind to start collecting bizarre fakes!
