The eagle is absolutely 100% authentic. I owned and sold the eagle illustrated on page 132 in this book....and also owned many others.
I'll be happy to take this eagle off your hands.

Thanks guys!I dont doubt the eagle is original,I am going to pm William just to get his opinion if that helps any doubters.
I swore I was done with this topic and I may be persecuted for this post but it is what it is. My final observations in which I will state my reasons for my thoughts/observations. The following pictures are from the book and posts here on the forum. The letter number combinations on the upper left wing, images are of Berghoffs eagle pg 132 and forum thread, TC's eagle, and the purported 70's fake from Wim's book. Let me state how many eagles do I own?-0, how many eagles have I handled?-0, how many items have I made from a mold-LOTS! The process of making a part from a mold is as follows, develop a plug (in this case I'm sure an artist sculpture of the eagle, from the plug the mold is made, given the fact these had to be a hand finished product it was a two part mold and had a cast edge as a result, from the mold the part/eagle in this case was made and finished. Now what does this mean? The plug and part are identical in shape/consistency/finish/detail. Periodically with use, a mold can get damaged and need repair otherwise if taken care of and used properly a mold can be used to make THOUSANDS of exact pieces. If severly damaged a new mold must be made from the same plug to ensure product quality, which the eagle producers did not make. Look at the numbers and letters of each piece and someone please provide me with a logical explanation for the differences between Berghoffs eagle and the similarities of TC's and the 70's reproduction from the book. I believe as I stated intially this eage is a copy of Berghoffs with an original eagle being used as the plug, therefore leaving less crisp/defined lines as Berghof's original Best regards.
