28" Reichsbahn WEHOG Eagle Assistance Needed

[Aldo]

Can I have some assistance on this eagle. Eagle is marked WEHOG and measures 27.5 inches wingspan. Any opinions are appreciated

Hello.
It has nice details. There is one shown in this link. Rail WEHAG - Third Reich Eagles
I don't know how accurate the information on this site is.
In Saris's book doesn't exactly match this one. Wait for more comments.
Regards Georgi.

I have to say I like what I see. (For the record I do not own one).
The one you show us has the same flaw as shown in the below screenshot:

"Wehag is the shortened designation for “Werke der Stadt Halle AG” (a factory in the city of Halle), and a company that oversaw local traffic in the city, All observed eagles with this marking have a major flaw on the reverse. The reverse mold was probably broken and the parts were technically put back together. Molding experts state this flaw is the result of the repair."

Al , the picture of the repair Vocht shows from Saris book is what I thought original eagles had . Only on the left ( looking at the back ) but yours has both sides showing repairs with flat back wings . The front is very convincing but the back has some questions for me . I would get info from someone who has had several of these Wehag eagles and a member of this forum if I were in your shoes . Would like more pictures of the other eagle in the jeep too. Wait for more input .

Thanks for the photo's, it is looking promising based on what I see. Here are a few more photo's. I don't know if they'll shed more light on the issue but all assistance is truly appreciated

Al , Here is another one deemed fake from the other forum . Please be diligent before pulling the trigger .

Thanks for the heads up. I've decided to step away and stick to my area of collecting. This is too much of a gamble. Thanks for all your help.

I think you made a wise choice Al .
