Hello,

Just ran across a new pattern of reproduction police sleeve eagle being offered on a German site.

They come in all colors and are selling for 15.00 Euro. The embroidery and quality are really not bad.

BUT it appears they all have same color swastikas...bad mistake I'm sure will be soon fixed.

BEWARE

More nasty reproductions! Although they certainly appears to be an attempt to copy/capture some traits from a real pattern...I think?

Hello,

Yes these do look nasty. They are trying to copy the creast headed eagle that Gary just found an authentication photo of. The thing to note is how good the embroidery is. Tight, heavy, VERY well done and far better than 90% of repros. God help us if they get the pattern right!

Here is the type of eagle I think they are copying

Bill

Is that HBT eagle on the right originally a named version ? Looks like a ghost image "Graz".... so this would make them from an Austrian manufacturer.

Andrew

Dear Andrew,

Exactly right. The only other eagle of this type I have seen is also named to WIEN so I believe they were made there.

How do you think these stack up against the Panzer one that Hans has ? Just eyeballing it they look pretty close to me.

Andrew

They are the same pattern. When he first posted it it was opined that it might have been made for the panzer police school in Vienna.
