SS Sleeve Eagle Original?

[themilitaryman]

I was wondering if this sleeve eagle is original? Kind of looks like a hammerhead variant. I found a very similar repro on the website of SM Wholesale USA. Is seems to be the exact same style but different stitching details. The eagle in question is in pic 1 and the repro is in pic 2. Thanks for the help.

You are right that there is a similar variant that is original. But i think the one you have in question is a fake. Could we see the back?

Here are some others for comparing stitching. I don't like this eagle, thread, or the stitching. But others have more experience than I.

I think this eagle is fake of an original Hammer-head that has been added to this piece of material to prevent anyone seeing the reverse.
Look closer at the photo ... whats with the stitching in the bottom left on the backing cloth ???
Is that the remains of a seam perhaps ?

I've never like the pointed wing tips.
