Need some advice with eagle...

[Pieter1942]

Hi guys;

I need some advice wit the folowing cap eagle; genuine or not?
Looks good to me because of the border of the patch is rough and looks to be removed from a beret.. the stitching looks fine. Love to hear your opinions!
Many thanx so far.

For me nothing wrong with this eagle.
It's rather popular item.

Hi Pieter,

This armoured beret eagle appears genuine. No apparent problems.

Yes, it does look like it’s been detached from a beret. But don’t use this as the indicator of authenticity. Bogus cloth insignia is sometimes made to look like this in order to trip up potential buyers. One of the tricks of the counterfeiters trade.

Cheers,
Tony

Pieter, you're most welcome. I see Rafal was posting his comments at exactly the same time as me.

Coincidentally, moments ago I posted this series of auction photos which shows this same eagle type – see post #776:

Auction items .. Good, Bad or Indifferent ?

Cheers,
