Can someone please mark my Eagle test?

[ralfsnart]

First I would like to thank whoever made this forum and all the wonderful members here that make this a top notch information forum!! I *thought* I was a WWII guru until I joined here!

So I have spent some time reading up on Eagles, since that is pretty much the only thing I have....so far!! I got these a few years ago before joining here. I believe that they all are reproductions now that I have had some time to read here. Can some please "mark my test" for me.

Greatly appreciated!! I hope one day to be on the "helping" end and not the asking end!!

Edit: will try a black light test when the daughter comes home, can't seem to find it!!!!

#1 (50% sure it's fake)





#2 (75% sure it's fake)





#3 (110% sure fake)

Yeah I figured, I just threw him in cause I had him. That's ok, it's ugly anyway

Thanks

Can anyone confirm or deny that #1 and #2 are real or fake?

Thanks

I don't know for sure either way, but #2 looks authentic to me.

I think #2 is probably good. I have had a nice pile of embroidered eagles in my short time collecting and I think its a solid piece, odd beak but that doesn't kill it as the embroidered ones have a lot of variences. The Luft generals eagle I am not a fan of. The body seems really fat but I don't collect luft so don't hold me to my comment. Matt

Thanks everyone!!

I am unsure about the Luff myself. It looks good, feels good but the lines on the wings don't match up to any pictures I have seen. The ones I have seen have a more curved horizontal line and mine seem to be straight?

Eagles 1 and 3 are bad, and 2 is real IMO. I got burned by a simular Luft eagle when I first started collecting before the WAF. Smitty.

Thanks for your opinion smitty! I tend to agree with you about the luff. Oh well, at least one looks as though it might be real so I am more ahead of the game than I thought

I agree with those that think #2 is authentic. It is usual.... never seen one with detail like that.
Strange beak for sure.
