Original DEMJANSK SS 1942 Arms shield?

Article about: HI. Is this an original Waffen-SS arm shield from DEMJANKS. I have some doubts, due to the deformed-looking eagle's head and that the seller has stabled it onto his display stand.

    I can't help with the authenticity of the shield itself, but the colour of the cloth backing looks more like Luftwaffe blue to me.

    From this poor and badly focussed pic I don't like it.
    The swas seems to have very rounded edges, the metal doesn't look right and the detail of the eagle is not discernible at all. It looks like one of the often copied variant with curved propeller blades.

    Not for me but wait for the shield experts.

    I agree with BB that this looks like Luftwaffe blue.

    Also, the fact that it has been stapled to something doesn't make it fake but it does mean that the person rsponsible is an idiot

    Regards

    Looks like one of the really rubbish newer Serif J fakes.
    Stay away. Also nothing on this remotely would indicate SS
