This one sure doesn't match anything I've got. Lots of tiny parallel gouges that look like file marks? Hmmm. What's the verdict? I'm suspicious (nearly of everything nowadays).

Hi Vaughn,
I have an identical example. It bends too easily imo and the striping effect I think is actually in the basemetal, not filing or a finish. I think mine is a repro. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can confirm.

I'm not sure about yours but I have a similar one I consider original, but if I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first. Mine has a silver finish of some sort applied to it. The detail's not to bad on mine for being a "late war" piece.Comment

I tend the think mine is a fake. I can't imagine the Germans releasing insignia with the striping on it (which appears as a flaw to me). Perhaps someone tried to copy the late-war eagle with only partial success? Any other thoughts?
