Bill I guess you will like this one. Here is what I believe to be a very early type eagle.

I kind of like this type with its very large ribbon, the wings look kind of swept back as if the bird was comming in for a landing, pot bellied with a long hook beak, another striking feature is the feet have no wreath to cling on to.

I have a couple of this type of eagle and George Wheeler has one on a jacket

Dear Gary,

Yes indeed an odd bird to say the least. Black swastika on top of everything! I have not run into this one yet. Looks like a hummingbird I'm afraid.

Gary..... What an amazing type of Variant Fire Eagle! The lack of closure of the upper aspect of the 'Swastica Wreath' is quite dramatic!

Black Backing & Black Swastica + Red Eagle = ? (Perhaps this is for the Fire Department which was assigned to the Panzers in 1940?) But, I doubt it.. Txs for Sharing it. Dave/dblmed

Gary,

Collector's Guild has this one, I always thought it was bad. Notice the difference in lower leaves. Looks like they skipped a row of embroidery. It is obviously the same pattern, but this one is really sloppy!

Bill I also got that one from the guild, you are right, they missed some of the embroidery, which tells us all that this was hand done. I like them both.

The one from George Wheelers jacket
