Rob, where did you put it for display?

I found a eagle for sale in Argentina but I'm not at all sure if it is real or not. The price is good but if it is a repro it wouldn't be! Please click on the link and tell me what you guys think? Thanks, Keith http://collect-militaria.com/index.php?a=2&b=970

Hi Adi...I currently have it sitting atop my helmet display. It's a series "boxed" shelves - where each "box" hold one helmet. The shelves hold 16 helmets. It's currently sitting on top of this shelving unit.

Hi Keith - I think I would pass on that eagle. The detail to the back is lacking and I don't like how the nuts/bolts show. I'm convinced that it's a reproduction.
Save you money!

Cheers!

Hey! I actually asked JR Meda that same question. He mentioned that it was made with GAlMgSi means a combination of cast Aluminum, Magnesium, Silicon.

Cheers!
