Luftwaffe Officer Summer Tunic Breast Eagle

[Sniper 1987]

Just picked up this die stamped aluminum eagle from a source that I trust. However, I always post items for examination by forum members who are much more knowledgeable than me. The eagle is approximately 95mm wide and weighs just under 8 grams. The pin is magnetic, and the reverse is marked with the stylized "A" of the Assmann firm. Thanks for taking a look.

Yup, but not a repro of a known Summer eagle, it's a fantasy eagle.

I appreciate the comments. I should have done my homework prior to purchasing. I read the recommended thread, and at that time, it did not seem to be a definitive fake - there were opinions both ways. However, since then, I guess it has been accepted that these eagles are fake, or as it has been stated above, a "fantasy" item.
