Dear All

This BeVo Panzer Breast Eagle has been in my collection for many years but not sure if it is original. I'd appreciate opinions.

Looks not so good!

I'm not sure about being an original 'breast' eagle.

[Tim O.]

Any more opinions out there? I'd like to put this on the e-stand so would like a clear majority - so far looks like one for and one against!

Tim,

I think I spoke too fast. I pulled out one of my eagles to compare. I noticed (it was hard to see with the black on black) that the obverse, top edge and lower edge of the wings have a zig-zag sort of pattern. Not a good sign. I now think this eagle is bad.

Also, on the front side, there are the wrong number of feathers.

Sorry, Steve

Greetings All,

Your panzer breast eagle is a reproduction. The give away is the section of the wing with 4 small wing segmants;it should be 5. The bottom line in the right wing is never completed.
