Poor pictures but maybe enough.
What are your opinions ???

Thank you in advance.

Anyone ??

Well, bad pics, but i.m.o. it's not good. The embroidery looks verry shiney and glitter and that is a bad sign... Not for me.

I believe this eagle stands a Chance?

[marcinkappa]

Some more opinions ?

The eagle was bought via WAF some time ago...

Well, looking at the bad embroidery (and again not the best pics) I would also pass on this one.

I don't like this style of eagle in general. I also don't like that fact that the backing is missing, since the backing is often a red flag on those. What I'm trying to say is, that those eagles often (not all of them) come with modern felt like backing cloth, and removing the backing is the easiest step to hide its not original.
The embroidery work is nothing special and reminds of foreign made examples - at least some collectors claim this - but I never have a good feeling about them.

Why not making the burn test? The white thread on the back often is modern polyester thread on the fakes. Just cut a small piece of a loose thread and use your lighter.
If it burns to ash its a good sign, but keep in mind, this doesn't automatically mean its original.
However if it burns like plastic/polyester, its for sure fake.

The eagle is probably correct, but it is one of the worst ones I have ever seen.
The swastika is poorly shaped, the upper wing beading is all over the place and wings are poorly defined as well. That being said, I'd wait for a better eagle to come along, then sell this one off and cut my losses.
