Certainly is a nasty looking eagle and swas.
Quite possible it is a reproduction.........

The guard is certainly a reproduction. The wire wrapping looks somewhat good though. Does the blade not have a makers mark under the swas? Hard to tell from these photos but I would surmise it might be somekind of mixed original and reproduction parts sword. Very strange indeed. These go for $400 to $600 depending on condition.

No marks at all.... Can you see the wear?? I'll add pictures.
No makers mark, double stamped swastika. Wire wrapping very shallow twist.
In my opinion not German made.
I have to agree with the others I'm afraid Steve, it appears to be a bit of a pup. Take a look at the pictures here of a genuine one on Paul Hogle's site, Lakesidetrader. Note the finer quality and crispness of the decoration and overall finish in general. As SteveR points out the eagle is a major red flag, that would never have passed Q.C.
