Eagle on the 2nd pith really does not look right at all.

it looks ok to me as in this one:

My eagle is the same as this one you showed, but the one on the pith looks nothing like this one.....seems more stylized, swastika is very thin and the eagle just doesn't look like a crisp military style

[qotd]

National shield seems to have a more rounded bottom as well

[DerFlieger]

yeah just looked at the branch arms of the swastika Tom and they dont look broad enough your right the national shield looks ok the helmet is original i know maybe its spoilt by crap replacement insignia

the czapka from him are very nice also my friend bought 2 of his original pickelhaubes i would change insignia on this i think
