Just like to see what you think of this flat wirer sleeve eagle . It is cold if you touch it to your cheek ( old way to see if its real metal thread ) Hope you all like it .

[Winkelman]

For me , I do not think that the use of " real metal wire " makes this one original , sorry ..

as a student of SS cloth and always learning, i do not get a good feeling from the oval shape of that eagle's body.

am i wrong to focus on this?

[Winkelman]

Oval-shaped like a bowlingpin , and with a very distinct feather pattern inside - well spotted ..

[tempelhof]

thank you, Winkelman.

It's a bad repro.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Agreed: it is bad, sorry.

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you all for the responses , sorry to hear its fake , was hoping it might have been Dutch made or something . But it better to know the truth . Thanks .
Cheers, Chris

Here's the same repro type in flatwire - not that anyone would buy even an original at THIS absurd price ..
