I noticed that the thread is pinned now, good idea!

Wouldn't it be good to broaden it to include also the fabric cap eagles? Very similar subject (and by accident I posted one some months ago here, sorry). Only a suggestion.

Here's one with an unusual backing material.

The paper backing is also unusual for a machine embroidered eagle, looks like that used on hand embroidered examples.
I looked thru this thread an the smock eagle thread, it looked similar to one on a tropical shirt. Any thoughts on what uniform it is for?
Thanks,
Fred

Nice eagles Harry, except the one in post 828, that one is not authentic IMHO.

Fine eagles Fred and 190.

John

[Harry]

Thanks John, it was never a favourite of mine. At least the shirt is good........

Here is another couple.... first one is applied to a elec heated leather flight jacket...

Kevin, it is certainly an original.

Fred, that is a great looking eagle! Perhaps a flight jacket eagle.
