From the images provided, I think most are fakes, see attached image. Pics of the reverse would be helpful, but probably not needed. The example in the middle on the right might be ok, but I dont think so, the others are as marked in the image.

The 2 top left are copys the bottom left is a foreign made example all the others look ok

Jerry,

I think your spot on except the eagle in the lower left hand corner. It is a Belgian produced eagle by the E. Reitz Company.

Yes Richard, of course, I did scratch my head a bit on that one, but I am not very familiar with the Heer examples, having seen the SS versions more frequently.

Thanks,

two bottom eagles and 1 in upper left hand corner are solid originals. Matt

[Theoderich]

OK, many thanks! Is every "4 feather eagle" a fake?

[afrikasandman]

for breast eagles yes. Matt

[madandi]

indeed!
Only the 2 four-feather-eagles are fake.
The rest is original.

I agree with Madandi

Why do you think the M44 is fake it looks good to me in fact i have a identical one

[Fred Green]

Greetings All,

MAH and Madandi are correct. Only the 4 feather eagles are bad. The M44 is good,ugly but good. The bottom left is attributed to the Reitz but I don't think manufactured by them. There is a nice array of these Belgium made eagles for the navy als0.
