Heer, Luft & SS Insignia Opinions

My knowledge in the area of cloth insignia is limited so I would really appreciate some opinions on these pieces. I'm pretty sure the SS one is bad but just not sure about the others. Is the Heer one with the mustard color tropical? Thanks

Im not keen on the 1st one.

The 2nd one is textbook.

Luft eagle looks ok but has it got a 2 tone rear???

SS i dont know enough to comment.

1 is bad
2 is good
3.... not sure
4. is one I am unsure about as I don't collect SS. Matt

Hello,

The first one is a know reproduction.
The second one is a grey on dark green 1939 pattern Heer enlisted man's cap eagle.
The third one looks suspicious to me because of the gauze backing.
I do not collect SS Insignia Sorry!

WH and LW are ok , even with gaze backing on the LW .
The first one is a known copy .
The WSS is a typical original one !

Ive seen luft eagles with mesh or gauze backing.
Ive always thought of these as later war ones when the tensile strength of wool
decreased and the backing was used to provide some integrity for the embroidery process.

I want to see if it has the typical two tone thread effect on the rear.
