    Late-war sleeve eagle?

    Hi, I'm not really into SS stuff - too expensive frankly - but couldn't resist what I believe could be a genuine late-war printed sleeve eagle. Perhaps these are being faked too... What do you think? I bought it in a small shop specializing in maritime objects. (The owner believed it to be a Kriegsmarine breast eagle, which is clearly not the case.) Anyhow, it measures about 10 cm/4 inches from wing tip to wing tip and looks to have been ripped off what it was once glued at:

    Any chance? Please help!

      OK, thanks. Not even f-a-k-e SS? :-) Who else used that type of eagle?

      Luckily it didn't cost me a fortune.

        Perhaps the thanksgiving unit

        It looks like a turkey

        Anders good you did not pay much for it .... Poor fantasy piece IMO

          THX! OK, I don't want to cling to a "lost cause" (not this anyhow), but what if that piece was cut from some type of WW2 storage bag or whatever piece of cloth... ? Sometimes 3R birds printed on that type of cheap fabric look like anything but eagles...

            The printing method used appears to be the most common modern screen printing method and is not typical for Third Reich printed fabric of any type (no ink bleed-through). The graphics are also not convincing.

              Thanks for your input. Pity...
