Frieds, Want to share it here and ask about that eagles. As I'am not familiar with the foreign made insignia, even got it from one seller from Holland, and he says it is a standard Belgian made eagles.
As they are rare and I do not owe the 100% original one, I would ask about your proffesional opinions. ( absolutely similar was discovered by me on the WAF forum as " Reitz" eagles) The black cloth base is undoubtly period one, but the thread looks too shiny for me...Even the both of them has differences in shape.

I can't manage to find it in English.
De Standaard Online - Resten zeldzame jachtvlieger geborgen
But thise is what is says in a few words;
The remains of a Spit XII where found in Beveren-IJzer (Flanders).
Only 100 where made of it.
It crashed on sunday the 19 september 1943 while escorting bombers to France, shot down by ennemy planes.
The pilot was a Austrlian guy...; sergeant Stan May, who survived the crash, managed to get back to the UK and died in 2002.
The man who helped the pilot was denonced and deportated.

Translated into English. The new French regulations conceirning digging/searching and picking up relics from French battlefields;

.....On our first search day (we had the intention to dig very carefully), we are deep in the forest when we got caught by a Forestier. A Forestier, is a French forester. Some Forestier has something more judicial powers then the foresters we are used to. Adorned with gun and handcuffs he told us the following:

1. The battlefields of France have been declared to historical sites of the French state;
2. All items in or on the battle fields is owned by the state;
3. Taking something / or picking up is the theft of the French state;

How futile, rusty or trivial picked up the article may be the law condemns it as theft of the French state for which the fines are strict.

However, if they have the impression it has to do with tourists with a purpose other than a 'souvenir' pick is also another law (eg in the Somme, Champagne, Verdun, Meuse and Argonne)

Have in possession:
1. a detector, or
2. spades, digging tools (a garden spade is too much), or
3. parts or components of ammunition;

Then immediate confiscation of their vehicle until the fine (FF 20,000 / € 3100, -) is payed. The French government is willing to containment of the offender (s) until this decision is respected.
