Luft Eagles. What are they??

[TP Alexander]

Here are 5 eagles, 3 metal and 2 cloth. The first one is almost twice as big as any of the others. A Pith Helmet Eagle, or what??

[TP Alexander]

The second and third eagles are breast insignia. The brown backing is for ??? Fallschirmjager??? and the other is an early droop tail enlisted??

[TP Alexander]

And the 4th & 5th are a hollow backed eagle marked L/50 & the other is a nickel-silver eagle with no discernable markings.
Comments, please!
Thanx,
Tim

# 1, 2, 3 and 4 are OK, the last one, Summer eagle for the jacket is a old fake.

Jos,
Culling out another fake makes me happy...(Sad in the wallet)...but happy in knowing that I am cleaning out the junk!
Thanx,
Tim

But....what is the usage of #1??
Pith helmet??

If its large as you say, then from the front of a luft parade tropenhelm is probably correct, as you suggested.
