Luftwaffe Breast Eagles

[Willi Z.]

I agree John. Yours is like a HBT weave, mine is like shirt fabric.

Similar to HBT Willi, but not HBT. I'll post a close up of HBT later to illustrate the difference.

Here is the eagle from Robbie's Field Division Jacket.

Sorry about the quality, was taken with my little point and shoot camera without using the flash.

Here is the eagle from Robbie's new tropical tunic.

[John Hodgin]

Here is a superb tropical eagle sent to me by a collector. Note how tightly the eagle is sewn. Willi, I can tell the maker by the eagle and it's application.

[John Hodgin]

Here is another from Robbie's collection. Note how the beak is extremely hooked and the swas. is misshapen. How many would buy this bird for their collection if it was not original to a fine HBT tunic? There are some very odd, yet original breast eagles out there.

Great,

I'm hooked to hooked beaks..

Here's mine on blue HBT.

Very fine Jos! Do you have a blue tropical tunic? I've seen some weird eagles on them.

I wish you were a girl too, one cannot have too many girlfriends.

Willi correctly asks to see the reverse of breast eagles when judging authenticity. What is the consensus on the back of this eagle?

[Willi Z.]

I like that one John. Can I have it? It has a very "loose" construction on the back, but I like the style of stitching.

Robbie's eagle on that tunic is very sharp! Same goes for the others.....

[Jos L C]

Here's a similar one..,cap eagle..

...can I have it when Willi has finished with it ?

Steve

P.S. Can we see the front now ?

"I like that one John. Can I have it?"

Hi Steve and Willi, I remember sending some SUPERB smock eagles to both of you in the past Then there are also knee pads, SD jump helmet, a bandoleer, and a mint splinter smock on this list!!! Seems to me it's time for some nice Fj items to flow from you two in this direction for a change.

Nice eagle Jos!!!
