Ps: How much is it worth?

Eagle
By the looks of the photo, it appear to be a reproduction, quality is poor, and the eagle is very fat in the center, no attention to detail. I dont have it in hand, so I can only go on the photo, it does appear postwar made. If it is indeed fake, its worth about $10US. As for what it could be, Army summer tunics used silver metal eagles only, there are some very rare photos showing a bullion eagle in wear, but that was against regulations, and was VERY rarely done, this would fit into this catagory.

I would certainly say it is a post war product. The noticable weave of the backround really gives it away.
I have seen reproduction bullion insignias made on white cloth before. The reason is that they can be made and later dyed to whatever color is wanted--the dye doesn't effect the bullion. The only thing is why bother here in that the only two colors would most likely be bottle green or black. The white repros are usually done on things that come in many 'waffenfarbe' type colors.
