[mrg]

Reverse again this time top part.

[mrg]

Here a closeup of the part that looks like its cast, but when you view it by hand it does nt look the way the way it does in the pics. If you know what i mean .

Hi Mrg,

I also thought it looked a little soft but based upon what I can see I think this might be explained by your scanner.

Just to make sure maybe you could provide us some measurements.

Here is my zinc Brehmer to compare it too.

HI philippe, thanks for your comments, will try and get you measurements (if i can find a ruler) tomorrow as not at home now. Have to say my award looks identical to the one you posted even down to the marking on the top left of the top edge of the eagle wing (as viewing). Detail on the eagle as a whole is excellent, feather marking are again identical, the only difference i can spot on mine is the 3rd oak leaf down on the left is a little flat. Will try and get better pics but dont hold out much hope as clear pics make the file to large and they are still not that good. Again many thanks much appreciated .Also the top of the pin has those very two same markings as yours, its just say visible by my attempt at scanning.
