Tropical eagle questions

Hy Guys, This eagle has a different look than I've ever seen.
The lines (in the circle) are 4 instead of 5. This is a repro ??

thanks in advance.

Best regards

100% repro.

I think this one is just a factory defect and is original. The 4 feather fake ones are always evenly spaced and this one clearly was meant to be a 5 feather that had a factory mishap. That's just my thoughts though. I would want to see it in hand but I think it has a very good chance. Matt

Interesting flaw

Factory embroidery flaw on an original eagle!

The eagle is original and it is interesting to see this flaw again. Is the bluse a 2nd, or 3rd pattern one?

I tend to think original also, application certainly looks period. A view of the reverse stitching as well was the overall garment would be instructive.

Check the eagle on this officers private purchase tropenbluse.

Original later rayon eagle with flaw.
I'd also like to see the depot stamp and model tunic attached to this one.

Agree original eagle with the 4 feather flaw, have seen these before.

I too would like to see more of the tunic and stamps ?

The reverse image of this later type tropical eagle, shows it retains the original factory application.

I'm very suprised guys . I thought a 4 feathers eagles are repros . But you have right ; quality of eagle looks nothing more tha repros with 4 featers . MY mistake.
