What is this eagle?

[Steiner77]

Hi All.

What is this Eagle? Deutsche Reichsbahn? Or just a Copy?

weight - 4,9 kg
dimension - 69 x 38 cm
material - brass or bronze

Thanks for the opinions. Georg

It looks like a cast copy to me. The reverse reveals casting flaws, the wrong attachment points and absence of markings. The front left wing has a lot of cast flaws in the form of pockmarks. Just my opinion though as I don't collect these beautiful birds. A basic search of railway eagles will give you some good ones to compare with. Maybe someone who collects them will give you a definitive answer. Good luck.

I saw that my photos were included in the Reproduction. Repro Reichsbahn - Third Reich Eagles
At least I know it's a replica.

Yes 100 percent repro. Clear casting flaws.
Throughout.

Especially that wing Al talks about.

Yeah definitely a fake cast... only one original Reichsbahn in bronze - the Rheingold from Garthe:
