SS Sleeve Eagle for Forum Review

[JCW9817]

Any comments or opinions will be appreciated. This was one of my first purchases as a new cloth insignia collector and I have my own opinions but would like to know what some of the forum experts think. Purchased from a seller a few years ago who is known to have some authentic and repro items.

Thanks!

Looks good to me.

Thanks for the feedback John. I was actually leaning toward really good post war reproduction after reviewing several threads on this forum. It has some of the "owl" fake characteristics to me. Passes the smell test and doesn't react to a black light though. Obviously unissued and almost too clean of an example. Knowing what I know now, I would probably pass on something like this today given all of the almost perfect reproductions apparently in the mix.

Again, thanks for your opinion on this one. I will hold on to it.

Its a good eagle JC, no need to worry. And its definitely not a owl fake. These late war Dachau eagles are almost always found in mint condition as they were found in stockpiles.
