[all1knew]

Hello all,

This a reproduction?

I believe that it is a repo. I don't like the prongs. If you look at this thread: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ss-met...-eagle-164972/ It's just my opinion, so i am sure that someone will be along to correct me if I am wrong.

Bad.

Let us discuss what is wrong with this eagle instead of just saying it is not authentic. That will make this thread educational. We must be more than the negative comments found on other forums.

Contrast.

Comparing to yours FB. They look very similar. The feathers under the arm at the very bottom look slightly rounded....
Also the right wing at the points don't match up.

Regards,

Sam

I realize that the comparison is difficult. The fakes tend to be cast, whereas original items are struck from a dye.

1) markings
2) wreath
3) prongs
4) head
etc

Not cast , but a known die-struck reproduction - of this type to be specific ..

Thanks to those more at home in these things than I. I have more than one, but I do not belabor them much.
