GAB - think it's bad

[Stepdale]

Hello,
Here's a RK luft GAB I bought a few years back from a reputable dealer in Vienna. After reviewing some threads here, I think it may be a bad one, mainly because the eagle is, I believe, the type common to many LW fakes. I appreciate your opinions.

Thanks for the confirmation. I figured it was bad. The repros are getting better all the time.
