Interesting tropical eagle

[Patrick W]

This nice bird just came in and I haven't seen a tropical one of this pattern before- anyone got one?

I have got one Patrick,

will dig it out and add an image when I get a chance.

I also have this style of eagle on one of my caps (pictured below) It is a very rare style to find on the tropical backing for the cap or tunic breast. Often seen on the dark blue wool but very rare on trop sand/ tan/ brown,

I love that plaque!

And the eagle is great, of course ;-)

There were two more plaques (post numbers 4 & 5) shown on this thread plus the only other example of a KM tropical billed M42 cap with this type of rare tropical eagle;

The cap shown in post number 4 looks to be made by the same maker as mine. Rare eagle, rare KM trop cap,

p.s. just read the thread again and see the plaque in post number 5 is yours. Any history with that one ?
