Urgent! Are these two eagles good or not?

**Vesqu** · 05-04-2019, 07:16 PM

Just recently I bumped into these two eagles for sale online, and I was wondering if anyone here would be able to tell if they are authentic or just good reproductions? These two pictures are sadly the only ones I have at hand.
Any help with these two would be appreciated.

If you supply better photos, it might help to determine authenticity.

Hello,

Both look like nice original breast eagles.

I think Fred is correct - they are a little salty but fine. NH

Unfortunately the auction for these two ended before there were any answers so I passed on them.

Try doing some research next time instead of just asking

Indeed, but not having that much experience with German insignia, I decided to be sure and ask about it.

That was probably the right thing to do, many auctions will have fakes thrown in with real items in hopes of hooking an uninformed collector.
Next time either take more close-up photos, or crop them before posting. It is the details in the stitching that tells the story.
Small photos are not going to garner the same responses as large clear images will.
Good luck in all your collecting.
