SS cap eagle help

[Luftwaffe 1941]

I was wondering if anyone could give me there opinion on this cap eagle. I was recently offered this example, but sadly I don’t know anything when it comes to authenticating these. I personally feel like the shape of the head is incorrect, but I could be wrong.

PS- sorry for the censored images, they are not mine.

The head should be rounded. Can you get better (sharper) pics?

Unfortunately these were the only photos the seller gave me.

If these were the only photos forthcoming, and the seller is reluctant to send more, I'd be highly skeptical at best. When it comes to SS insignia, you don't want to take any chances. I'd ask for more photos, and if the seller makes excuses or refuses, I'd look elsewhere.

I just requested more photos from the seller and he sent me these. The same photos from before, but uncensored and a bit more clear.

Ok, now I can see It better, It's a fake (head and chest feathers are different. But It's a nice one made. Kind of marking and attachments are like on the original Deschler eagle like this one below..

I greatly appreciate the help on this one! I found it on an online site where people sell things locally. The price was extremely fair, but I knew I should consult the forum before I took the gamble. I’m certainly glad I did! Almost threw away a bit of cash.
