Afrika corps eagle

[GRAZ]

Hi All
I've just been sent this breast eagle on approval, I can't decide if it's real or not. It appears to be tunic removed.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Graham

Looks more like an Organization Todt Officers eagle.

Hello,

I am willing to bet that it is a very early trop KM Admin eagle.

Hello Graham,
It is really hard to say what organization it may be for, but in my opinion, it appears to be a period custom tailored eagle, reminding me of some of the Luftwaffe NCO breast eagles I have seen, done in a type of celleon thread. It is a fine looking eagle regardless.
Thank you,
Curtiss

Definitely period workmanship, could be KM too. I have a luftwaffe eagle made the same way. [emoji4]

Tropical KM Admin. is my vote.
Years ago I had a similar eagle in a lot of
Tropical KM insignia (all on the OD/Tan backing.

A very nice original piece and quite rare!

I don't believe the ORG. TODT wore breast eagles.

I don't believe the ORG. TODT wore breast eagles.

I was thinking of the Organization Todt / NSKK / Transport Speer groups.

Hello,

I have an example in heer colors with this style of manufacture. The shape of the body and quality of hand construction make me believe that this is an earlier style eagle.
