    Odd SS Officer Sleeve Eagle

    This sleeve eagle does not look like a normal one, but the bullion work is interesting. Is there any chance that it might be original?

    I cannot tell the size but in form with the short wing-span it almost looks more like a type of Cap eagle?

      The size is way too big for a normal cap eagle. I don't have it in front of me or else I would give you the measurments.

          What gives it away as a beret eagle? I just don't see it.

            I seem to remember there was some sort of "Eastern" organization that used this pattern of sleeve eagle- try posting it in the Political Orgs. Form...

                There is a similar diplomatic eagle shown in the The Service of the Reich book by Angolia on page 30. It indicates that the wingspan on the example shown was 8.5 CM.

                  Johnny,

                  Can you post a credited photo from the book, for those of us with small libraries?

                    I try to avoid posting copyrighted material, robbing banks, arson and other crimes. I can email it to you if you like.

                      It is not the eagle in the diplo book not even a close comparison. No one has ventured to guess on originality yet.

                        Are you looking at the eagle on the top of the page? The image is not that great but it is similar in size and form. Handmade items vary greatly.

                          Maybe it is just me but I seem to notice a couple of things that look similar. Superimposing the outline of the eagle helps to see this.

                              Nor me. The spring bullion and the style are the killers for me.
