Can anyone ID these Eagles?

The two eagles are both on brown back grounds. The top one is metallic. It is brown on top of Feld grau. Are they DAK?

Couple of new books for christmas

Hi guys , I know that the majority of you will have seen these , I got
1, Five years , four fronts by Georg Grossjohann
2, Wolfpacks at war by Jak Mallmann Showell.

Im about half way through reading Five years , four fronts & have really enjoyed reading it so far .
I have only flicked through wolfpacks but still think it full of factual information . Need to grab a couple of very quiet hours ( away from kids ) to sit down & go through both books at leisure .

Luftwaffe Shoulder board????

I was told that this is a WW2 period s/b for the Luftwaffe, but the rear construction looks more post war East German and the tresse used is also something I cannot place. Can someone please enlighten me? Thank you.
Tom

Buying My First Helmet

Hi Guys,

I have a chance to buy what I think will be my first authentic German Helmet. I think it is a M1935 combat helmet? I would like some opinions as to what a fair price for this one would be.
It belongs to my brother- in- law's father and as much as I would like to get it cheap I don't want to be remembered for ripping him off. This would be
my first Helmet and I have no idea what to offer him for it. He found it! There are some #'s on the inside of the shell:

66 on the left side

3589 on the back

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Four Types of Flatwire Officer Sleeve Eagles

It has taken me the better part of 40 years to find all the patterns of the flatwire SS officer sleeve eagles. The last eagle was found at a small show, in Germany, this month.

WWI: PVT McIntyre Med Dept Aviation Section

After seeing the quality of items posted by HAWK3370, Steven M and others here, I hesitate to post this meager group. The soldier wasn't an Ace, wasn't even a pilot and actually never went overseas, but he did give his life for his country and for that I thought he should be remembered.

Richard T. McIntyre was botn on September 10, 1891 on a farm north of Ambia, Indiana. He entered the Army on March 29th, 1918 and was assigned to Kelly Field in San Antonio Texas. He was assigned to the Medical Department, Aviation Section at Kelly.

While at Kelly he contracted the Spainish flu, developed pneumonia and died on October 16th, 1918. He was 27 years old.

This is a photo of PVT McIntyre taken in San Antonio.
