Re: KM Eagle unusual variation or fake
Hi Steve, it's unlike any I have seen before, but I'm not liking it.

Re: KM Eagle unusual variation or fake
Old copy IMO, the weave above the fold line and the weird feathering on the chest are both indicative of that.
Are the threads it's woven from twisted or straight?
The Belgian made eagles usually attributed to Reitz are a bit unusual and are not something I am familiar with, so it might be one of them, though that might be clutching at straws.

Re: KM Eagle unusual variation or fake
Thanks Guys,
Jerry the threads appear straight and rather silky. The black thread appears twisted. The beak/head I wondered about but I really have no clue at this point.

Jerry, what concerns me most about the eagle in post #1 is that the swastika is not visible from the rear. Even on the Reitz items the swastika was visible.

Re: KM Eagle unusual variation or fake
Hi Tom. I agree, I posted that I think it's a copy and only mentioned Reitz because they are a different to "normal" insignia. I bookmarked your link for future reference, as I had seen it before but could not find it. Thanks for posting it.

Jerry

Re: KM Eagle unusual variation or fake
Thanks Jerry, not at all implying that you said it was good, but always good to explore all avenues. At least this strengthens your opinion of it being a copy. Win-win?

Re: KM Eagle unusual variation or fake
Thanks for the inputs and the quick link to the Belgian made insignias. Glad to know some of what I was suspecting was correct.
Cheers,
Steve

I have to ask about the backing fabric being gray in appearance. I have seen other eagles (that have all the hallmarks of period originals unlike the eagle being discussed) with that gray rayon backing on trusted dealer sites. How come most have the green rayon but others have gray?
