Ugly!? Where is your sense of Teutonic design Steve???!!!Originally posted by SMP
An odd but scarce eagle. Will show you some later that perhaps you will think are more handsome. Yep, been a good month. And many thanks for the tip!
Will post some photos when it arrives.

Nice eagles John. Except for that ugly one! I thought that one eagle looked afmiliar. I like the way the right wing tip turns up. Have you seen another?
Here is a very late subdued eagle. Rough wool backing and some features (swaz and claws) are thin and weak.Willi

I suspect a lot of these "Ugly" birds were made in occupied countries. Perhaps it was a subtle type of revenge !
(BTW John - "Birds" is English slang for women. You can keep the ugly ones ! )

Steve,
Regarding women, I totally agree.
As for Luft. birds, I'll take all I can get, ugly or otherwise.
Willi, when you visited I showed you an eagle like yours, with lots of material around it. :-)
Cheers,

Trop.eagle on heavy fabric ,unfortunately re-applied,in this case I don't care too much,it's a rare bird and the jacket displays nicely this way IMO.

The thread which is used for the triangular eagle is kinda khaki,but the flash makes it a rather light color..,on the other hand I'm not too worried about lighter or darker shades...,here's a era shot of very dark colored thread used...

Nice eagle and straps Jos.
I thought I would pull out some unissued subdued eagles to compare against a standard white one.Willi
