Thanks guys for the feedback. I actually paid quite a lot for this one, but it's going back! Tried to post pics before I took it, but camera was stuffed.

Good that its going back, I can't pinpoint anything in particular but it all just looks 'wrong', from the dodgy eagles head to the lack of detail, the wreath looks too 'fat', the rifle butt looks 'bent', I hope it wasn't from a supposedly reputable dealer?

Yes Glen. When I first got it I researched the files and thought that it was a S&H, the Deumer being close, but not quite. The head and top of wings have been knocked in a bit like maybe the badge was dropped at some stage. The beak pointed me in the S&H direction, but the hinge plate is wrong, ergo my concern.
As far as the dealer is concerned, fear not, he is a local guy and really not so knowledgeable about these things, but having bought many genuine items from him in the past he knows that if I am unhappy with an item after researching it completely, it goes back.
Usually I will take photos of items before putting down money, ask him to hold it for a day while I check it out, but recently my camera gave up the ghost and I could only take pics once item was in hand. Won't make that mistake again.
