Luftwaffe Breast Eagles

[BadBob]

Cool looking eye on this one. Not sewn on as precisely as some; they stitched into the left wing slightly, and missed the edge beneath the head completely.

Very nice Bob! Did that one come from a well known dealer?

John

[BadBob]

Not well known, but a long time collector, now collector/dealer, I think.

Here's a new one - Subdued green HBT eagle. I guess it must be late-war. Anyone know ?

Very nice Steve. Yes late, IMHO from mid 44 on.

Tropical breast eagle

Hello,
Opinions on this Luftwaffe tropical breast eagle would be greatly appreciated. It appears to have been taken from a shirt as there are threads still attached to it. I like it but I am always willing to be proved wrong but hope that I won't be! Anyway, here goes.
Best regards,
Andy

That eagle is original Andy.

Nice HBT eagle Steve. Nice find.

[BadBob]

Please forgive the photo quality, but does this late one look like they should?

[John Hodgin]

Hi Bob,

Looks good in it's vaguenessbut better photos are needed. PS: it isn't a late eagle.

Thought I post a few LW breast eagles;
Rather standard one, but included in a named LW flak group from a soldier garding the Ploiesti oil fields.

Im sorry for the not so sharp photos.

Eagle for jump smock or other use in LW. Also posted in the Jump smock thread.

Early style eagle on a jacket.

Interesting subdued eagle. Ribbed black cloth backing as well.
