Scott Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Paul, I'm not an authority on these by any stretch, but one thing I look for is the stitching quality on the swastika. On the original eagles I've seen, the swastika is symetrical with nice, sharp 90-degree angles and superb attention to detail on the stitching. Your eagle looks fairly good until I get to the swaz, which seems less-well executed than the rest of the eagle. I may be way off base in my opinion/observation.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lyons Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I agree wih Scott, eagle looks good but the swaz is not correct, it looks to me like it was oncede-nazified, and someone has had a swastika re-affixed, there seems to be a slightly different backingto the part where the swastika is too, so my guess is a good bird with a postwar replaced swastika.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaW Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thank you very much, the owner tell me the swastica was made 1944 in Paris from a french dressmaker??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hmmm, I would still be inclined to think the swastika was added postwar.....Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Le Conté Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hmmm, I would still be inclined to think the swastika was added postwar.....BobThere's a good chance...Eagle itself looks OK, swas looks odd.., would like to see a sharp close-up of that area..Jos.
