    I think it is an original. However, the enamel of the arms look like replaced with paint ?

      Personally it looks like a Souval replacement/fake.

        Thanks for your reply!
        Besides a few dirt spots the enamel is still in nice condition.

          Thanks for your reply Ian, I thought the Souvals had a smaller Eagle head.

            The quality of the enamel just isn't there.

            Here's an original by Deumer, note the underlying texture in the enamel ..

              Thanks again for your reply Ian, I see what you're saying.
              Maybe the enamel looks bad because of my pictures, I will try to add some better pictures.

              Thanks again

                  The weird thing is that I can't link the eagle's head to a certain accepted maker. The Souval eagle's head is not the same as this one.

                    I still think it's genuine.

                    Can you check the ribbon ring for stamped number, please. Also, a close up picture of where the enamel meets the metal of the arm might he helpful.

                      There are no stamped numbers on the ring, here are a few more pictures as requested.
                      Thanks Tino

                        Thanks for the pictures. I am not sure they add many new insights. There is a structure beneath the enamel. I suspect the enamel may be thinner than what we usually see. Nevertheless, I believe it to be good.
