Hi Dave, I don't normally reply to any thread unless I am 100% sure in my own mind about something. But in this case I can only offer some observations.

These is a fault under the eagles left wing, which appears to be a peice chipped off? My concern is the gilt finsh appears to extend over this. The general fit of the eagle to the base is not great either. There are also flaws to the casting on the back near the base.

These type of things have been copied for a good 40 years now. I think I would pass on it if offered to me.

Cheers, Ade.
