The first eagle I have never seen before on the internet. However I have no idea about any German memorabilia.

I know this eagle is different but it's the closest thing that I can find that's similar to the first eagle that you posted.
Third Reich Wall Eagle

Thanks! and is that a genuine eagle?
I don't know.
Luke
haha :P Thanks for your help though it is much appreciated!
The eagle that Luke posted above appears to be made of plaster
and gives no indication of size. It could even be from
the same source.
The Reichbahn eagle is indeed a copy - note that where the
integral threaded studs would have been on an original,
only remnants of the bases are left. Reichbahn copies
go for around $200-$250. I'd be interested in it
for that amount.........

Neither is original. On original pieces the bosses and construction quality are more telling than makers marks

Thank you for everyone's input it has helped a lot. So from this I know both are reproductions and around 250 each?
I wouldn't touch either if I was into collecting for history's sake. To me, pieces such as these are worthless novelty pieces... I'd rather start saving up for a good original railway eagle if I were you --- something I'm obviously not So, of course... up to you. I look at $250 (or whatever) for either of these as throwing money out of the window though.
