Heer & Luft pith shields, opinions please?

[Bond]

Hi, I picked these up today and I'm not sure, so any opinions would be welcome.
The detail is good, they do not have pits or big blobby solder and fat pins. They are non-magnetic and are diestruck and they dont bend.

Thanks, Jerry

PS, I could'nt get a really sharp pic of the luft eagle, but maybe I can try again tomorrow.

IMO these are bad ones detail is poor.

more pics

Some more pics.
Comparing to some others I have and a detail of the Luft eagle, again.

Thanks David for your opinion, as I said, I'm struggling to catch the detail, which, IMO, is good.

The ones in post # 1 are all recent fakes, soft soldered prongs and made of some lead/tin rather hard pot metal .

The luft eagle is a "fantasy" copy of the late model, poor quality, the pins will break off very easily.
These eagles and shields are cast, not diestruck ..

Thanks Jos. I almost liked them, but not completely.

I've had another look and realised that one of my collection was the same type of copy/fake as the ones I bought yesterday
The details on these are actually really poor and I cant understand how I thought they were good, I've looked again and there are so many things wrong, maybe I need to get some new specks, but the soft solder is a good one for me to remember. They were all cheap, so not too much lost and its always good to get a fake out of your collection

Thanks again David and Jos

I highlighted the fakes on the montage pic, the old one in the box
