Help with this eagle please

[Militaryminded2020]

I’ve recently paid a £10 for this Eagle from
a friend who sells bric a brac , he had it in one of his boxes and offered it to me.
It’s 10cm across and 5.5cm length
Bronze colour
Weight is 19.04 gram

No maker marks , looks old
Not sure for hat or chest , it doesn’t lay flat as wings set back to body
Clasps are wide and not added solder Etc
Detailed well on both sides of eagle
Nice though
Any help please

not sure if it is authentic but that eagle and size is typically for a Kriegsmarine Pith helmet

A fake KM pith eagle!

These examples are known fakes, the main thing that sticks out is the weird looking head.

I’ve linked a thread from the WAF on another of these eagles.

Best regards, Tobias
