SS eagle by Zimmermann for your consideration

[Ziggy Stardust]

Dear collectors,

I have a chance to buy this piece, but have only these two pictures by now.

I would say that the eagle looks to be 100% legit, do you have the same opinion, please?

Thank you for any input

I believe it is a cast fake. The thickness and the roughness of the reverse edges resemble an eagle I bought and returned. the attachments are suspect as well as they appear to be soldered directly onto the wings. Please wait for more opinions as I am not proficient in eagles. we have many experts who will give you a definitive answer.

This is the fake I returned, very similar.

In contrast a cupal version I own that has crisp detail

Yes, the first eagle is one of the better cast fakes.

What I see is that the first one has crimped in pins, NOT soldered as Aldo's second one shown.

Not saying good or bad - just pointing out that its not soldered on......

Normally the difference between zinc, and cupal or tombak.
