This type of embroidered eagle is something I have tended to stay away from and certainly in the recent period some very good fakes of this type have been produced. I would think this is probably a good example, but I could not say so with 100% certainty.

I also thought this type was an ugly bird so never bothered buying one or researching them.

It's not one eagle! One pigeon.

Too cryptic for me and I could not see any early or pre war embroidered Heer eagles in the link to compare it against.

Jerry,

I agree with the ugly factor! But I need an example of this type, have yet to pull the trigger on any..

Lebus12,

Collectors guild is a great site "though overpriced" with great service...

Does anyone have a period photo of this type of eagle on a tunic?

Hello,

This is a very fine original early enlisted mans private purchase breast eagle! No doubt here! These were also done in Coastal artillery and Kriegsmarine colors.Here is an example of a Heer one with backing material.

Thanks fred!

Very glad to hear this is a good one..

I have whats left of a costal eagle... And the KM next to it I wonder about? Hell the cap eagle above that is a ? in my mind too...

Any insight on these?

The one at bottom right is a beauty and all look to be original.

Sorry if I don't find the others pretty, I only let good looking birds in my house.

Hello Steve,

Embroidered eagles are a pretty subjective study!! Each collector has his own likes and dislikes. I see no problem with any of the eagles that you have posted.

Ps Jerry, I am an equal opportunity employer! I let the ugly ones in too

I have room for them all.....Ugly or not....as long as they are real!

Ok this one "right side" has funky blue highlights, kinda course base, big ass eye..I get a bad vibe..?
