I saw this at a show today and wanted to post it to ensure that it is original or a reproduction. No maker mark, and the black paint is creeping up onto the metal on parts, which are both a concern. I don't want to be fooled again...opinions welcome.

Repaint
Looks like the swaz has definitely been repainted- I have one and the original paint was carefully applied-Not touching the outer oak leaves - However , a repaint is not a deal killer- What concerns me most is the detail in the upper wing markings-There should be more distinct layered lines in the upper wings- In my example there are three distinct curved lines in the upper most inside feathering. this example- has none- I would pass!

Hi Kindog11, I agree with wiki, The details should be really sharp, both the eagles body & wings & wreath should show a high level of detail. Compare the one that you show to this nice original example- note the clear sharp details on the eagles claws and even the dimples on the acorn caps:Attached Files
