Hi Joe,
This is indeed the small "4" fake which is based on the Deschler type shield.

if this shield as made after another one (deschler), the original Deschler would have had a smaller 4 as well?

Not necessarily, the 4 on the small 4 fake is more an optical illusion then anything else.
The 4 is indeed smaller then the 0 but only a fraction. It is more the fact that the 4 is lower then the 0 which gives the impression that the 4 is a lot smaller.

The 4 on the original Deschler is the same size as the 0.

I think the small 4 fake was made after an original Deschler based on the eagles head, date, and some other characteristics.

pascal, your comment is very much appreciated, although It strikes me as odd that one would fake the eagle of n item and not the rest all thogether...
