New Pattern Luft Summer Eagle.(Zink)

[Jos L C]

Here's a original "new" pattern Summer eagle.
I personally never saw this pattern before.
It's rather special IMO 'cause it has a prong attached to the back of the swas,something mostly found on Heer and Navy Summer eagles rather than Luft.
The silver plating is all gone,although there're some traces left on a wing,it must've been a very thin layer.
The front of the beak shows a crack,like so many thin zink late items.
I only knew of the zink big A Assmann eagle until this one came up.
Unfortunately it's unmarked.
To me a rather interesting eagle..
Enjoy,

Jos.

Hi Jos,

Thanks for posting these two zink eagles . I have a small "A" aluminium eagle, but the one posted below has always been questionable to me. After all I guess I have two good ones . Bummer about the pin though
