Would need to authentic with proven "French made and Italian made" examples to compare.. AND with the RZM tag... No good.... I would have to look at my Political Party uniform books to compare... Right now, they are just hearsay thoughts: maybe this may be that....Where is the evidence? Period photos sometimes are helpful to either confirm or deny...Sometimes collectors will use these terms if they are either unsure or want to get rid of a fake/copy in a hurry...hence it becomes someone else's problem Leigh -

I appreciate the candor, that’s why I posted them. Just to clarify, these are three separate purchases(the “Italian/French” one & the HJLW were from the same collector). So you’re not keen on the political cap eagle? How about the “Italian”(or French) made one? -

It’s called the take down lever. Look at the grooves in the slides on the earlier models. You will see a notch that the take down lever locks in to. Yours does not have that notch. -

The official German armed forces, the Wehrmacht, fell under the control of the state, not the Nazi Party. While the Nazi Party had influence over the military, the RZM's direct authority did not extend to Wehrmacht uniforms and gear. That being said, the eagle with the RZM tag is fake. Bullion birds of a feather often flock together. The HJ flak helper looks good. -

Sorry about lumping all of these together, but I figured since I had them out, why not just take a lump sum photo. I’ve only shown the top two to collectors: one wanted the political one badly, while the other really liked the panzer. What’s funny is that the one who wanted the political said he was hesitant on the panzer, and yet the other said he was hesitant on the political. 🤦🏼♂️ I was informed by the collector I purchased the third from that it was “most-likely” Italian made panzer eagle but possibly French. The HJ-LW is whatever it is. Oh, & please be sure to rip me for placing the small Velcro pieces (it was for a display I had up years ago). -

Thanks Sarge and Marshall. What is the lever that is missing on mine? It functions fine without it whatever it is. Mark -

Cool photo. I wonder if his sidearm is an Enfield Mark 2 No. 1 or maybe a S&W British Service Revolver. Charlie -

That's pretty cool. Good to see the Jungle Carbine still in the field. I had one for years but finally sold it. It had a tremendous recoil and was a PITA to shoot, so I finally sold it to a pal with a higher tolerance for pain. Are these fellows providing security against four legged animal predators or the kind with 2 legs and AK-47s? Regards, Charlie -
