Hi Kevin,

that is a rare plate and much reproduced. Did you check for double holes, e.g. on the inside are there unused holes near the one holding the eagle?

Kevin,

additionally I see that the stamping around the beak of the eagle is not very neat.
However let's wait what the pickelhaube collectors have to say.


Kind regards,
Michel
