Nr. 4 is an early eagle from an officers 4 taschenrock.

And the last one is a black eagle of the HG Fallschirm Panzer Gren. Rgt.

Hello Neckar,

Please compare your HG eagle to the eagle in post 452.

Hello John, I am not that long at this site. How do I come on "452"?

Hi Necker, just look to the right of this or your last post. They all have a number. The eagle I posted on number 452, this same page, is a modern reproduction.

Hello John, I see what you mean. The eagle you have postet is green, mine is black. But it has the same look. Nevertheless I have no problem with my eagle.

Hello necker,

The bevo eagle on your technician overalls is a reproduction IMO.

The eagle you have postet is green, mine is black.

It is the design of the eagle that is important, not the backing. This design can be purchased (cheaply) at many militaria shows with most any backing; including green camo, black wool, blue-grey wool, blue-grey twill, and tan cotton twill.

Hello Jos, Thanks for the info. Then I guess I have to find me another eagle on the overall. Is this a known fake, or is it believed to be a fake, because no one knows ore has seen the eagle before?

I guess we can say now that it's a pretty old known fake.
I've seen many..,too many..+ I saw a dealer selling these as reproductions for around 15 Euro.

Oke, thanks.

Hello again Necker,

When you have time, if you read all the pages of this thread, you will learn a lot. These Bevo eagles have been discussed here before. Like Jos, I see them at shows, and also cheap. Authentic Bevo eagles are posted here as well, I believe Jos's link takes you to them, careful viewing their photos will help.

All your eagles are authentic except the eagle I mentioned, and the Bevo one Jos mentioned.

Regards,
John
