On the pith helmet?Dont have the helmets but ,vet bringback metal eagles pins, removed from helmet,helmet must have been too big to bother stuffing in duffle bag I guess.These are neat looking insignia, all slightly different.Were these ever maker marked?

Hi TC , I would be wary of the middle shield as it appears to have reverse pebbling .see here German Pith helmet badges. Regards ,Paul

Thanks guys!Paul interesting link,here are outside pics of middle eagle shield,it appears to be brass base metal.Its not magnetic, vet must have picked it up post war,I have had it over 20 years.It does look like reverse pebbling,wow would never have guessed it was a repo .
