    Railway Eagle for review

    How's this one look?. Paint is definitely postwar, but what about the bird?
    Thanks!

                She even has painted toe nails. It's authentic.

                    Sorry...........that poor casting is postwar IMO. I have not seen another one by that maker anywhere near as crude.

                        Post war repro and they went through the trouble of machining/threading the studs? That's a first.

                        Absolutely real

                          I'm not so sure that the studs may not have been added during the casting. Look at the base of the pictured stud where it seems to be sectioned into the back. Maybe this maker did this late in the war. I think the studs were part of the casting process and not added originally.
                          Even the obverse of the eagle shows casting pits IMO. Regardless, this a a very poor quality example and I would not consider it representative of Third Reich quality train eagles.
