Fake Luft Pithhelmet eagle.. !!

[Jos L C]

Beware..!

There's a new generation fake luft pithhelmet eagles hitting the market..

It's covered with silver wash which comes off easily when you put it in silverdip, something that shouldn't happen when original.

It has 3 copper prongs looking like small nails which are soldered on in a way that they break loose easily.

It has a closed part at the upper arm of the swas..

It's a very detailed eagle, also at the backside and although it might look stamped it's a cast one ..

If you buy one, don't pay much, because they're 100% fake.

Here's a result..

I did some test with one of those eagles.

First I've put it in silverdip and the silverwash went off immediately, then I've put it in a small flame for 1 or 2 seconds and see what happened.., they melt like butter..

Like said, 100 % fake !
