Apart from the missing pins, is this a good eagle?
Thanks,

A beautiful example, Harry -- too bad the pins were broken off.

Something seems odd about it. Can you provide closeups of the eagle head and the reverse of the badge in high detail. Thanks.Comment

Looks like a recast to me
The slag around the head
And the attachment pins look solid filledComment

Seems like a modern day design not from the era and made from casting. Can’t confirm until there are close-ups.

Kind of looks like a Rex Reddick repro. I'm looking at one in their catalog 7. There's are also marked M1/102. Harry, it's hard to tell just by your photos. But I've been fooled by some of Reddick TR items. Some are obvious and some are not.

Nice close-ups Ron. That's the way an original should look. I believe your M1/102 is Frank & Reif, Stuttgart. And Jay's M1/52 is Deschler & Sohn. And as always the differences are subtle. But the RZM held such tight control that it's hard to see the those differences sometimes.
