I will NOT put the eagle from the helmet,
I don’t want to Risk to Damage something,
Please also Check the Patina of the eagle ..
I am sure This is Hard to Fake !

Hi Dale
7 Years ago I found this eagle in Krakow, there were 5/6 same eagles on a flea market's table: same rust, same fake aging. They are well recognizable by the backside

Any pictures of the faked eagle?

Would want to see some silver wash on a good eagle or at least some remains of it. If not, thats not a good sign.

Not always the silver wash has survived over 80+ years, like on this eagle

I’ve owned a few of these over the years. There is nothing wrong with this Sturzhelm or the bird. Just heavily oxidised and patina due to poor storage IMO... congrats.

fortunately I threw it away years ago however it is easy to find his brothers on the internet

As you can easily see they are very similar, also the backside has totally wrong prongs. This is why it would be nice to check the backside of this thread's eagle
