The eagle is a reproduction. Hard to say for sure if the collar tab is original though. Could be fine but is also close to good repros. So, I wont leave any opinion on the rune tab.
I am not sure about that litzen on the rank tab. It does not look original. It is a possibility it is a fake. A better photo of the litzen might help.
A black light test could be valuable as well.

OK, post a straight on shot of the eagle and a close-up of the litzen. I still think that's a good embroidered eagle with wear. The litzen is thin but there were several original types.
The eagle is a sure reproduction, and a quite bad and obvious one. The runes are harder to judge. It does have slight problem with the parallell test. I leave no comment on the rune tab.
That litzen is not a war time confirmed pattern, and that dismiss it from being original in my book.
The eagle one can easily find in the fakes thread if one does a search.
