    The sleeve eagle has been dyed dark blue. I have seen instances where tunics were dyed this color for POWs in ETO. (This is not an explanation for this color, just a side note.) Even though the sleeve eagle exhibits very unusual color, I like the quality embroidery of the sleeve eagle and believe it to be original. The Edelweis arm badge is nice original cloth too..

        I have a similar, although not as dark, I've never heard a convincing explanation as to why...

          The last eagle is not dyed. The thread is originally grey but they made this pattern with a few different color threads. I have seen this grey version on peadot jackets. I agree about the original bird is an early original.

                  You bet and there have been some great eagles popping up this week! I just love all the variations in these eagles and always looking for those oddities. Here is a good picture to show the difference in color of the last early war eagle posted with the grey thread. There are three thread colors but there is a fourth that I don't have that is a silky white looking thread.

                      I think the tunic was washed.
                      I once had a TK tab, rank tab and eagle all the same color; the tabs were still
                      wrinkled. The provider said he got them from a vet whose wife washed the tunic.
