Luftwaffe Breast Eagles

Here's one off my Flieger Bluse.

A classic Tony. Have seen this design also backed with tan, green, and cotton blue-grey.

Hi John,

Thanks for the compliment. Slim pickings on the birds lately, so I had to post this one.

Sure would like to have one backed in tan, green, or cotton blue-grey like you mentioned.

Nice eagle Tony!

Thought I would add these eagles. On 2 mint matching unissued HG M43 tunics. Both have factory applied cuff titles as well.

Here is removed eagle I have had for a few years. I knew it was a late war variation; partly based on the poor quality of the wool.

I have never seen this style of eagle on a Fliegerbluse. Note it is the exact same eagle as the one found on the Luftwaffe M44 tunic (which is sewn through the lining BTW) in post # 730. Until I saw that eagle on a the M44 in the collection of a friend, I wasn't sure where it was used.

What an ugly bird! Looks more like a goose than like an eagle ...

Something John will enjoy; a lucky find from a show today.

Good addition Willi! Tunic (twill) backed eagles are tough to find.

[Willi Z.]

A couple of new finds.

Very good Richard, especially like the "NCO" example.

Appreciate it, John. The droop-tail is my favourite one.
