    Hi to the forum
    I would appreciate feedback from informed members on a (cap eagle) one of two which recently have come into my possession
    Personally I feel that this first example is Fantasy piece.My concerns are
    The poor detail to head with its large eye
    Heavily feathered legs
    Absence of any makers marks
    Finally the unusual short panel pin type fixings (mounting)
    I would be keen to read your views as my searching has been fruitless.

    I thought the wreath that looks like a bundt cake seemed odd, combined with the armor coated appearance of the "eagle".

    Ha your so right I'm glad we are all in agreement .Its nice to have one's suspicions confirmd even if the question is blatantly obvious.
    This example will be entombed inside an dog food tin and put out for recycling.

    Now if I may present the second example for you consideration .
    This one perports to being Assmann Und Sohne,Very faint makers stamp base of left wing very faint but visible #55/42 .above that also faint the RZM mark and above that the dopel S ruhnes.
    Construction is Tin so magnetic (never come across before )
    Detailing weak not crisp especially the head and leg..
    Does this one come under the (Pigeon head Adler )?

    Naw; this is a particularly war-like and dangerous bird: He's wearing plate armor from his head to his toes! Must be for some super-elite unit.

    (Just kidding. Of course it's bad.)

    Such creature came straight out of a Lovecraft novel. Nightmare material.

    It just flew in from Yuggoth.

    I'd suggest you start a new thread for your second eagle.
    Multiple similar items in one thread can cause confusion .

    The second item with the Assmann nomenclature and the date of 1942 strikes me as authentic? The other item is an awful, repugnant fake, as the persons
    here so well note.
