I bought this a few years ago as I thought it was interesting. Now I would like to know if it is real or not. As far as I can tell it is not maker marked.

Thank you,
Pat

Pat,

This may be a match to yours...

Are there two pins on the reverse, round pins?

This photo belongs to 'stdub'. Please, if this OK to use.

Robert

[Robert P.]

yours...

[Robert P.]

It's very close. I see a difference in the '1's in the date box. And, the beaks look a little different too. Close.

Robert,

Yes, they are very close. My badge has flat pins, though. Thank you for posting the pictures.

Regards,
Pat

Yeah, jon, I grabbed it out of the forum for my files when it was given the . It might have been mistaken for an L/15. ???

uh hem, excuse me, of course I know what stdubs is...
this die (maybe an L/15 variant?) has a split pin reverse, and I've never seen another like it!

[Robert P.]

Yeah, here's the reverse. It's my first as well...

Robert

[tinmantis]

that's it
I'd bet my grandpop's wooden leg that it's an L/15 too
check the die craziness going on, top left chest feathers... gotta be a match, many things different, but many the same...

[Robert P.]

Right. The only 'big' difference I see is the '1' in 1939. It does look quite similar. The finish is a consideration also. I've kept is all this time hoping to see a match, and this is close. ???

date's different, eagles match (ish)
I think this is a case of different dies, same mother die

A mother die would produce like dies. How do you account for the differences then?
