desk adler for review

[mare-starinar]

Hi. I purchased this desk eagle. In my opinion original but missing the leg-pin on the back. I did se exact same a while ago selling on this forum. What do you think? Original or not? thanks for all your info

I dont know much about eagles but I was told it used to be nickle plated? And this one was a water find...

These eagles come up from time to time and if I were you, I'd go for a textbook piece in a better condition.

any maker marks, #s on back ??? these have been heavily reproduced ...they were not very intricate in original casting ,so ... EC

[mare-starinar]

No not that I see... Maybe there were marks on the pin I dont know... What about aging? I believe patina and wear like that cant be manmade can it? To take of nickle on some places and leave it on in others?

For me it's a reproduction. The eagle is missing all of the finer detailing that is seen on an original.

I agree with Erich.
Whether water find, desert find, moon find, etc., I think this is not a good piece.
