[Charlie Farley]

I am not a collector of sleeve eagles so would really appreciate your opinions on this item.

not original I am afraid

Sid's right! Its a fake...

[Charlie Farley]

Thanks to both Arran and Carlson
I have over 50 SS cuff titles, have never wanted to nor never owned sleeve eagles.
This was offered to me as part of a trade so I very much value your opinion, thanks for the information!!

Note from the open area on the wing that there is no cardboard template, and also that it has been exposed to black dye to disguise the glowing of the (previously) white thread on the reverse!

Arran, so very much for the information.
Even after 40 year of collecting there is still so much to learn!!

Thanks for posting
There is a massive difference in quality in every aspect of this piece of insignia.
Thanks for sharing the information I have certainly learned from it.
