IMO the eagle is ok. Just a variant.

I agree, the eagle is original. I also like the "not perfect" way that it is stitched on to the sleeve.
I post a cut off that I own of a similar eagle. Again, not perfect stitches.

Cheers,
Felix

Great "cut off" Felix. Is the bird tropical or aging?

Tropical eagles are yellow BeVo..this is embroidered...= continental!

Hello!

Yes, it is normal grey embroidered eagle toned into yellow because of age and wear.
If one finds a tropical eagle on a normal grey/green wool jacket one can be sure it is post war applied.
