Misc Luftwaffe insignia

[all1knew]

Hello all,

What exactly do I have here? I'll take a shot but I don't know the correct terminology. It looks like a m43 trapezoid, an arm insignia, and a trade badge?

Please help me out with this. Thank you.

Hi, what what my opinion is worth, the two trade patches are good, but IMO the trap is not.

William,
The round circular patch is a motor vehicle driver.
The other one is a rangefinder patch.

Hello again,

Thanks for the information. Here is an extra shot of the trap. - you still think its bad?

Hi, these are something I know less about than I'd like, but for me, the method of highlighting the wings in a series of little chain stitches, rather than a single long stitch is a sign of a copy, but I could be wrong. I'm sure someone with a more knowledgeable opinion will help you out.
On these, as on all items, I'm still learning, it's just somethings I know less about than others.

In general, you are correct Jerry, but the "chain" stitch was actually used by some eagle manufacturers. All the insignia are genuine William!

The top eagle is this photo is a reproduction, but the lower eagle is a genuine eagle cut from a flying blouse, with the "chain" stitch in wings.

Hello again,

I didn't think the trap. would be bad as they all came together and they look like they were found in storage after the war. Any idea as to what I could get per item if I move them over to the e-stand?
