    SS eagle for opinions

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? The person that sent me this thinks it is an original variant, foreign made - but I have never seen anything like it. It measures 7cm from wingtip to wingtip. Any thoughts?

    Looks believable to me as a (foreign made) unknown variant!
    This based on the quality, but just don't know for sure! I do like it!

      I don't like it at all .... which probably means it's an original 'locally made' (GOD I hate that ... usually a blatant excuse for fakery) 'variant'.

        The reverse looks very much like the Reitz production eagles, i think its period, haven't seen this before.

          Thanks all. Yes, I thought of Reitz and did a search but none of the examples posted looked quite like this. Any other opinions?

            I also vote foreign (maybe Reitz Belgium)! Technically not "Reitz" but a factory called "La Nominette" in Belgium!
            (and these insignia could have been supplied to Reitz for their uniform production)

            Where's Werner?

              Agree, too much detail to be anything else...

                An older copy, in my opinion. I have seen these before and never liked them. Of course, I could be wrong.

                    Mike,

                    Did you get a chance to test the eagle with a blacklight or try a burn test with one of those loose threads?
                    Just a thought.

                      Too much?

                        Well, at least it passed the burn test!

                              IMO not original.
