leon21 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hi guys, a few years ago i bought a box full of cloth patches from a friend of mine who was moving to Thialand. He bought them back in the early 70s, I came across this sleeve eagle and thought at the time that it was just abad repro. That was untill i came across an article of the last model of the enlisted ranks/NCO SS sleeve eagle, being produced in a printed form. These appeared in late 1944 and were intended to be worn on the M-44 short field uniform. These sleeve eagles never reached a high degree of useage. The article had a picture with it and as soon as i saw it i new it was the same. Ive never seen a real one only pictures so ive nothing to compare it with, Its past the black light test but not sure what the burn test is. ( I need your help with this one guys ) 3 Quote
Kenny Andrew Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 hi Leon, yes those eagles are fine ,you sometimes got them on ski caps too at the end of the war. Here's a link to the burn test http://www.treasurebunker.com/forums/index...ic=486&st=0 3 Quote

Fritz Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 I would have doubts about the originality of this piece, as with most SS items. 2 Quote
Kenny Andrew Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 I thought that too Fritz but this pattern is accepted as an original, but I agree so easy to fake. 2 Quote
