eagle ss ? 475/39 copy?

Hi, is this a copy?

[Winkelman]

No , it's an original zinc Wagner , but late strikes of this type are not known for their fine looks .
Early strikes are a little better looking - the die would be renewed in 1942 ..

Bravo, Winkelmann! Thank God you keep things sane here. My warm thanks.

A different prong mounting style compared to both my 475/39 examples.

[Winkelman]

Yes , here are the 2 types used by them on zinc eagles , the pins / Splinte themselves were aluminum in both cases , and by now most of them are missing ..
Because these were simply too weak to work properly , I am going to give 2 thumbs down here for the Wagner products review ..
