Do you question why both eagles on the jackets you show are nearly identical?

Or why they are similar to the eagle in post 59?

This afrika tunics are not often to find, and in my opinion 95% of them were denazified ather 1945. So it is hard to find a DAF tunic and much more harder to find one with original attached eagle.

I like bouth eagls but I'm shure the are bouth reattached, because they are on the edge frayed. The original type are plain.

This particular type of eagle ( both are identical ) is very controversial and questionable plus one of the most found fakes among breast eagles IMO.
I would be curious to see the eagles' location on the inside of the tunics .

Indeed. And was once widely and cheaply available on ebay. On a thread somewhere are many photos this design lifted from ebay. It is a reproduction.

Very similar, but on a different backing.

A "one looker," cut from a tunic. Notice the details.

Yup same eagles. As stated elsewhere, these came out in the mid '90s and first appeared at reenactor events for $10. Looks like the two in question were artifically aged by throwing them in a washing machine.

Nice example!
