A way to detect an original from a fake is the head of the eagle .
Round head is fake straighter head is original .
Their are a few more ways but this is the easiest .
Fake is on the left , original is on the right .

Thank you for the pictures and input. I see the differences, I wish mine looked like the one on the right.

Your welcome .
These fakes came out in the mid 1970s and fooled alot of collectors since then including myself until someone educated me on how to point ot the subtle differences.
