Bob Lyons Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 These eagles have been heavily faked Peter, I have never owned one, I think Jos is the expert on these,and I am sure Francois will be able to help out on this one too.......

Michael Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 How can you tell? I want to learn something! Eagles are not my focus.RegardsPaulHi Paul. Well, one look told me that it was brand new. The color, the ridge around the outside that is characteristic of a modern embroidered patch. I also looked at the material the patch was made of and it looks very modern to me. And the big giveaway, I just recently saw these for sale at a flea market for about $9 each. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'd say that the top one looks okay. I don't know about the bottom one though. It just looks odd to me.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
