[Willi Z.]

An unissued one.

[Billy Naylor]

Hello
Please help a newby collector. Why is the eagle facing right on the cloth one and left on the alum. one??

Hello Billy,

I'd like you to try and answer your own question. Please tell my why do you think this is, and we'll talk it over.

Willi, nice eagles! Are we the only ones "playing" here? In all my collecting I have seen very few tropical cap eagles that were removed from caps. George had a great selection. But other than his, they seem to be scarce. Much more so than trop. shirt eagles. Do you agree? Removed pith eagles seem equally scarce.

Are we the only ones "playing" here?

Uncle John H,
We've over 6000 members here and I only discovered 3,4..,maybe 5 Luft flight collectors..

Eehh,Yes,...I think only a few are only "playing" here..,unfortunately..

I wonder what the other + 5750 members are collecting..!?..

Another thing is,that although I've won quite some items,there're must be a couple of hundred flight collectors (in my case) on Ebay..
I hardly get a chance lately..
But probably none of them is a member here..

Well,carry on..,nice eagles !...

Johnny from the Heijden..,yes,I think the 5 bevo's that's about it..,or there must be a blue Bevo cap eagle somewhere or a trop.Bevo breast..?..

Jos.

[John Hodgin]

Jos, Have you seen a Bevo tropical breast eagle? I have seen a machine embroidered wire tropical breast eagle but it was a fake.

Johnny, I have seen an authentic bevo flatwire (normal design) that was backed on an unusual color, sort of a grey-brown, not dark blue.

Happy you are playing Jos!

Hope you both have a good night.
John

This is very true Jos, but remember one of the five is Frenchie. And he equals thirty to fifty normal collectors.......
