Interesting. At first you stated this didn't appear to be a Wagner and talked about it possibly being an altered S&L. Following Marshall's comments about your observations and what he saw, you changed your line of commentary and shifted towards "early" and other Wagner pieces.
Steve, there are characteristic die flaws on original Wagner/Fr solid silver gilt PlMs that are visible in the photos on Detlev's site. "early, middle/late or even postwar" eagles made on Wagner dies all share the same die flaws. Obviously, you did not notice those flaws which are tell-tale signs that more than a few advanced PlM collectors and those who study them, immediately key in on. If you had noticed them, there would have been no comments by you about the eagles resembling S&L eagles because of head shapes, etc.
