    IMO not good, a older fake, these are made of a tough kinda tin/lead alloy with cast in prongs, looks like crimped in.

    I once had one of these and it was missing a prong, tried to solder a new one on .., these birds melt like butter after 2 seconds ..

      I'll use the thread to ask, what about that one? Good or bad? Thank you very much!

          luftwaffe pith eagle

          The tropical eagle is a hard one to track down, I had the same one as Jos showed. I managed to get early brass one from Ruptured Duck, not cheap. Then i sold helmet on . Jim sold me his early army trop helmet with early brass luftwaffe eagle on un touched. There has been afew copys made mostly for a batch of luft helmets found in early 90,s which were sold of cheap at fairs in Europe. I have been told early bass eagle worth more than trop helm itself. You might get one cheap, Regards Paul

            Paul,

            I think the tropical eagle is not that hard to find.
            I've come across a few of them, and in the last 6 months, 3 were sold on the e-stand.

              trop helmet eagle

              Which type, brass or later manufacture. I have seen the later type on a few dealers sites but imo all copys. Dont think you will turn up the early brass one to handy. They are rare, Regards Paul.
