I am sorry but I have been collecting cut insignia for a very long time. Please tell me how you can tell this is an original piece. SS cut sleeve eagles are very easily, and heavily, reproduced. Look at all the nap wear. I bet it is under the eagle as well.
Someone has reproduced cut FJ smock eagles on water pattern. The only way you can tell is that they are using wool eagles (as original smock eagles are rare) which they didn't use on original water pattern smocks. With original fabric it takes nothing to create the same style of stitching. You can 't tell......Last edited by Willi Z.; 01-11-2017, 08:55 AM.Willi

The only comment I will make is to observe that at 9 o'clock on the wreath it was distorted before it was sewn.

Hi WilliOriginally posted by Willi Z. View Post
I know cutoffs can and do get made post war just to get a bigger price.
But in the case of this one I still believe it to be genuine.
Looking at the thread on my phone zooming in I can clearly see nap around the edges of the eagle that isn't as worn as the rest of the cloth.

I owned this one, its a good cut off. If you lift the snagged area the nap is fresh.Comment

I also never ever saw a fake cut off using T stitch which is uncommon in it's own right. You can see the the nap remaining around the perimeter of the eagle. Unquestionable and superb piece of history in my opinion.Comment
