Gold eagle with Assmann marking on the back. Luftwaffe General Insignia? Fake or real?
Hi guys, I've recently bought this from an acquaintance in Rothenburg and was curious if its authentic or not? They claim it was from a Luftwaffe general, curious if this is true? After searching around I haven't found an exact copy of this to compare. I've seen many silver ones that look similar but haven't seen a golden one.
Thanks for your insight in advance!

This is a known fake, here's a link that explains why.
