Left and right skulls are fake ...

all the eagles are original, the 2 larger skulls as stated are fake as is the Dutch shield, smaller skull is genuine

The r/h one is old Droopy Eye

The l/h one fooled me way back in the 70's and I sold it on for what I paid for it in '95 to someone who answered an ad I put in the Free Ads when I was selling my collection. He said it was a 'Crusher Cap Skull'

I must agree with Patrick on the Dutch shield.

[Ian Hulley]

I assume you know the 2 'strange' eagles are made by the Reitz company ?

Hi Ian,
thought that they were of Belgium manufacture so I scoured the forum for other examples, varying thoughts what company made them.
Thanks Mark

I'm not sure ... things change, they were 'Reitz' eagles back in the day.

Reitz were a clothing manufacturer the insgnia in question was used on the garments produced by Reitz, the insignia was manufactured outside.
