Desk Eagle pickup

[85ronnies]

Hello gang, i picked this up yesterday at the Bolton fair, it is made of alloy quite fragile with age and paint is flaking.I have seen one before somwhere but cant remember where, i have added the cross to it the hole was already in the beak as the one i have seen previously also had the cross hanging the same.
It looks great on the desk the paint seems to cover a lot of detail, has anyone seen one like this before? or could anyone give me any info on it please cheers Ronnie
