I would tend to agree.

No doubt about it ..

Hi Gents, Thank you for your confirmation of the authenticity or lack of, of these "works of art!". Back into the junk box!!!

Cheers Michael R

I have to agree that these are products of the "Fourth Reich."

For future reference, the first eagle is known as the "bowling pin fake."

Some really ugly ones at that.

Yes Gents, I am in total agreement. 4th R and ugly. However, I do not think that airing wrong badges does any harm or waste time as they become a small part of the "Repro" identification reference on the Forum. I hope you agree???

Thank you for your comments and opinions.

The next badge I would like to show is an SS arm eagle. Although in poor condition, I have a feeling that it may be original???????????

Your opinions please.

Regards Michael R

That's more like it!

That one looks good. It is of the same type seen here:

Bevo arm eagle good or bad?

I also agree with you that documenting the fakes is just as important as keeping a record of authentic items. Both are helpful to collectors.
