The eagle is fine, BeVo is a term used by collectors to refer to a style of silk embroidery common in German WW II badges. The name itself comes from the BeVo-Wuppertal firm (though they were not the only firm to produce this type of embroidery during WW II, the name has stuck among collectors.) Be stands for Beteilingung, or "partnership" in English, Vo is short for Vorsteher. The firm BeVo-Wuppertal came into being when the firms of Lucas Vorsteher and Ewelda Vorsteher amalgamated; both came from the Wuppertal-Bermen area.

Hence BeVo

Usless information, sometimes handy

Thanks John, It's NOT useless info

But I already knew the story behind it (Bevo-Wuppertal)
What's difficult to these Breasteagles, there are so well reproduced.
You can almost just recognize them by It's rear is that correct?

Hello Carlsson and John,
John, sorry to say, but this example is a reproduction.
A Heer breast eagle has five feathers where i did draw the yellow lines, not four....and this head.....looks like a depressed pigeon
Thanks

Hi Guys, JP is correct. This is a fake.

Cheers, Ade.

Wow, thanks, I already have one but in silverthread, I thought maybe It's not the same. Look at this one below of my collection.
You are right, I count 5 upperfeathers! Thanks I didn't waste money on that one, It was relatively cheap but still..

**John Brandon** · 11-23-2009, 10:26 PM

Missed that one...................sorry

I have noticed that the cap eagle only has 4 feathers in this location.

Fred Green · 11-24-2009, 08:06 PM

Greetings All,

The cap eagle should only have 4 feathers. The breast eagle should have 5.
Carlsson1982, your Flat wire eagle is good. I will post a couple examples that I have.
