Im not 100% convinced its bad.

I like the two tone thread effect on the rear, which is consistent with original machine embroidered pieces.As for the design, Kriegsmarine eagles can be on the cartoonish style at times.

Gentlemen , Perhaps if you indicate some of the points you dont like .

I didn't like the design and the way it is sewn... About the two tone backing it couldn't be a perfect discrimine, due it is possible to do still now for sure. Is dangerous believe that some sewn couldn't be reproduced now. As then the production wasn't make by fine craftsman, but simply tailor with tailor machine...

That's true that, in the close-up pic, the thread looks promising, that 'moves' as some of the original cloth badge.... But the design and the 'smell' that came with.. didn't like so much!

Anyway is only my pesonal opinion...

Cheers!

Hi,
I like it more than I don't, but it is a type I'm not so familar with, so my opinion has to be a bit noncommital, but I like the construction and the feathering on the body, so I tend to favor it being good, IMO.

I have the same one and it's a good one i.m.o.

[Drew Wright]

I don't like the details, especially of the head and legs of the eagle as well as the swastika. I've never seen an original with that shape of head and simple sticks for legs. The color of the base cloth also seems off, but that could just be the variations caused by monitors, cameras, etc.

Regards,

Drew

Very similar to an original one known IMO but alkso different in small details, I don't like the back, ... IMO not a good one

[John Pen.]

Thanks very much gentlemen for the lively discussion on this piece.
Here are some more pics with different lighting and background, hope it helps.

Also, is there enough of a disagreement here to here to list it on e-stand or should it go to BAZAAR?

[keifer kahn]

Im still undecided.I see more points that i like than i dislike.

Have you blacklighted it?.
Id be interested in the result in regards to the rear white thread.

[KM-NZ]
