Luftwaffe Breast Eagles

Good Evening,

I have two examples of what I believe are authentic Luftwaffe eagles. The small Bevo eagle may be for a uniform hat and the larger, tropical eagle, may be a uniform breast eagle.

Any and all comments are welcome. Both 'passed' a black light test.

Thank you for your time and trouble.

Luftwaffe Bevo Eagle

Hi Folks,

Once again I ask for your input on whether or not this piece is authentic. The wingspan measures approx. 2 11/16". The backing is dark blue wool and the rear side of the emblem has been covered over with some sort of material.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Thank you for your time.

Bill

Hi Bill,

Bad bird for my money, unfortunately.

Best regards,

Hi Jason,

Thanks for taking a look.

Just to be clear: which bird does not appear to be legitimate - the one on a blue background or the tropical?

Breast eagle on fliegerbluse

Hi,
this breast eagle is on a fliegerbluse I own. The rear is unusual in that it goes under the lining. It's marked LBA 42 so would have had an eagle applied at the factory by 1942, and there is no sign of a previous eagle. I'm assuming it's a manufacturer variation. The maker of the fliegerbluse is "Kurzrock", there is one reference elewhere on WAF to this maker (on a fliegerbluse). I'd be interested if anyone has come across this maker or style of application before?

Regards, Paul

Hi John
As comparison to your original LW Bevo flat wire eagle (post #2), I found these 2 repros, what I believe from the 1970`s

Can I get some opinions on this eagle:

[jonathancol]

Any feedback on these? The design seems ok, but I don't know if this is typical backing.

Thanks!
