    Desk Eagle - RZM M3/90 - Opinions Please Before It Goes To Estand

    A decorator item I have had for years that I assumed was a reproduction M3/90 desk eagle.

    Similar threads on WAF indicate this type eagle is a fake, but the other examples I found posted are more crude, so thought I had better double check before selling.

    Thanks for opinions in advance.

          Hi Jeff,

          It's a nice decorator piece that would look fine on a bookshelf...if anyone has any space left on their bookshelves...but I must agree with Jim: this appears to me to be a postwar casting which has lost much of it's original detail.

            Thanks Gents, I was about 99% sure it was.

            Other than buying a fake unknowingly, selling an original as a fake unknowingly is next painful. Did that few times back in the day based on one "expert" opinion.

              Unfortunately a repro, Jeff - Real ones have crisp detailing especially for the stamping.

                  Here is the link to an earlier discussion about the M3/90 eagles showing the cast copies and the original that they were cast from. Unfortunately some of the photos of the other cast copy have now gone but I remember that it was very similar to this one http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...g+eagle&page=2 - as Mil says

                    The link to that old thread that Michael pointed out is a great source of pictorial reference.

                    Good desk eagles are very hard to find now and the prices have skyrocketed in recent years. These are a must for all serious collectors. There's one on Weitze's website showing a "Type B Nuremberg eagle" with "flat Back" and with good amount of silver wash remaining but it is unmarked.

                      Thanks guys, I won't delete these photos, so it'll stay up as a reference.

                      This one did sell rather quickly at a repro price on the bazaar section of the estand.

                        Another desk piece has appeared on Shea's site which I believe has a replaced base. The eagle looks good with some original silver wash still remaining. I wouldn't pay one for this price, though.

                            Underneath should show a single nut and bolt for this type of eagle as opposed to the two bolt mounting on an "HB" eagle. also might have the manufacturers sticker- in this case should be Ziehe & Co, Kassel.

                            Nice eagle, possibly replaced base as this model was nearly always with dedication plaque but outrageously expensive (IMO)
