From the same lot as the Heer insignia I just posted, came these three KM birs, two appear tropical, though I'm not quite sure about the gold one on the white rayon background as regards its particular application. A few pix below...

Can anyone enlighten me as to the gilt eagle on white background (the top one), as regards its application? Is this for naval administration, perhaps? Thank you. -
Hello Milton,
To me the gold on white eagle is a reproduction. I do not care for the construction of the reverse. It is made unlike any BeVo eagle I have ever seen. The small gold on green eagle has been a discussed eagle for a long time. Some like it some do not. I love the gold on tan eagle. I sold a breast eagle like that not to long ago. I have seen these in this color and Gold on blue.

Gold and brown eagle
Hi,
I have similar eagles in my collection, one is brownish on white and the other one yellow on white.
Still I am puzzled about the usage (or that they are genuine).
Fred, yes. The reverse of the golden/yellow one looks not like any BeVo I have.
Any information is appreciated
Thanks

Hello Christian,
The top eagle that you posted is a known fake. The second is also a reproduction in my opinion.

Thanks gents. It's entirely possible, as I can't quite figure it out either (the gold on white bird). The gilt on green I chalked up as being KM/ Coastal Artillery type, but I feel that the bottom - most one (gilt on tan base), is probably ok. These were in a much larger lot of mixed original and replica cloth. Thanks for the opinions thus far.Comment
