Pole Top Eagle and staff Opinions Please

[oldflagswanted]

IMO thumbs-up ...

... what are your thoughts on this eagle
and pole/staff. Thanks

Hello AjWWII:
IMO, always nice to see an
intact original pole. These can be
rarer to find than the actual flags.

Spot on OFW. I hardly ever see the poles...very rare and a nice find. Congrats.

Back to the pole top. I know people get concerned about the porosity....rightfully so in most cases, but this particular style top and manufacture seem like they had quality issues. And this is just a guess/opinion...it seems like they tried to correct the issues by over buffing them, trying to remove material to get past the air pockets. Some may mistaken the over buffing as a poor copy/mold lacking detail and get apprehensive about it. Just my opinion/observation after seeing many examples like this.

Mine is an RZM M3/34/35 eagle and it also has some pitting scattered about. And yes it's a no brainer original, Forrest Gump approved!

Thanks very one for the comments and sharing your knowledge.

That eagle was a no brainer call, pretty hard to screw up and yet it was. I guess when your an expert on amber and everything else its easy to miss a pole top that Forrest Gump could authenticate.

Bird and pole are both good
But I’d buy the flag pole before the bird
