please help eagles real or fake

[jawasinger]

I purchased these a few months back thinking they were real but with more investigation im starting to wonder.... no glow under uv light, thread burns very fast.... the pics dont show but thread almost looks thin sinthetic not twisted thread like my older HEER eagle

[JustinG]

Hard to tell, the pics are pretty small. Might have better luck posting on the insignia forum. The blue eagle looks pretty good, however, that is the lightest blue I have seen?
I have never seen a Right head turned breast eagle for the KM. I know the pith helmet sheilds were right looking birds.
This is just my opinion, Better shots will be more helpful for others to make a detrmination

Best of luck.

jawasinger,
The gold eagle on black with the head going "in the wrong direction" is a sleeve eagle for the Reichsbahn......

don't know if they are original but are the typical bevo fakes....

Greetings jawasinger,

Both eagles have a good possibility of being original. Clear close up shots of both front and back are needed though.

Whoa, this is weird. I can't see any attachments in my browser...I'm viewing this in the Uniforms and Insignia Forum -- was it moved hear from somewhere else? I can still see all the photos in every other thread, just not this one. I feel like I'm the kid in "The Emperor's New Clothes"!
Best regards,

Greetings Norm,

I can't see the photos now!!

[Norm F]

Ah, I see

I think I get it. These photos aren't posted here but are linked to a 3rd party server. Whenever that server's not available the photos disappear -- odd though I would have thought in that case you'd see a small icon of some sort but there was no sign at all.
They're back now but who knows for how long.
Better post this here now for future reference/academic interest.
