I am happy you like it, for it was brought from Italy by a US soldier. He took the shield as well, which is zinc (with brass prongs), not aluminum. Did you notice the mark Jos?

[Jos L C]

Hey..,it looks like a A..

Pretty cool..

Here is another example. This design always reminded me of a vulture, not an eagle.
