That last one has the most unusal of attachments, I have only seen three point fixings on army and naval eagles before this.

118 views and no additional comments..., this must be real boring stuff.., oh boy..

I've to admit ... Summer eagles are for girls actually, ...so what !?

I personally think these are one of the most gorgeous insignia, very realistic versus the countless karicatures we'll find among TR stuff.

Heer and Navy Summer eagles are nice, but they represent a eagle which doesn't exist, while some of these creatures are pretty close..., but that's just my way of looking at these ofcourse.

Jos,

That is an amazing collection. I have not seen so many in one photo! Is one of them Gold in color?

Hi Jos

Here are a few to have a look at.

First up is an early droop tailed example that belonged to Stabszahlmeister Gerhard Oelsch. Stab 4. Fsch.-Jg. Div.

This one or something simular.

Fascinating, I have a gilt metal eagle affixed to a period photo album, I will dig it out and post some photos of it soon.

Jos, a birds-eye wiew of a few eagles. You asked for images of both originals and fakes and this is a mixture. I'll post individual scans of all of them later on, perhaps you like to venture a guess first

cheers

Hello Peter,

Another Summer eagle fan, great, nice collection !

Let me guess...

From the pic I don't like 3,...., don't like 6.... and 7 needs a better look, might be KupAl or fake..

I'm curious..

Hi Jos,

Not bad at all . Four of these eagles are already shown here: #1 small A and DRGM, #2 zinc, #4 nickel and #5 large A. Coming up are the other three, which I believe all are bad.

cheers

So, another eagle has landed on my doorstep.

In 'cupal' (polished-aluminium plated copper) this eagle belonged to Maj Johann.Wilhelm Kind, KAMPFGESCHWADER 51 III./KG51.
