Help with Breast Eagle and Iron Cross cloth

[Spitfire]

Hello all

I have had this insignia, bevo enlisted breast eagle and iron cross, squirreled away in my collection from when I first started collecting.

I was never sure about the originality - this is not an area of my expertise and which I even today struggle with.

I would like opinions on these please.

thanks, Al R

Hello,

The breast eagle in a new known reproduction. I do not care for the EK in cloth. I believe that it is also a reproduction.

Cross is bad for sure.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought - both reproductions.

thanks Adam

Hi Adam

thanks for the reply.

I sort of thought this as any cloth IC's that I have seen have a more "hand sewn" look to them

take care, Al

Hello,

Any time you have a breast eagle with this type of back it is a reproduction. This is also made of a polyester and not a natural fiber.

Both are really bad fakes. Matt

Hi Fred

thanks for the informative links, they were helpful and the pictures speak volumes as to the look of the proper weave for cloth insignia.

At least I know the breast eagle is a reproduction for sure!
