Italian SS Eagle

I would like opions on this SS Eagle. It's marked " ROSS ROMA 1943" and at the bottom is a hallmark and "800" .

I would not believe this is original.

Bob, what is not correct about it, thanks Troy

[Bob Hritz]

Troy,

The eagle you posted is a crude casting. The Italians made wonderful quality medals, badges and insignia.

This is an original set made by Loreli

I see! thank you for the information, now I know what to look for!

I agree with Bob, He is showing the only acceptable version of the Italian metalic SS eagle that I know of.

It is my pleasure to help you, Troy. I could guarantee my 'mistakes box' is bigger than yours, from the learing experiences I garnered with hard earned dollars and not enough knowledge. This is a learning place which would have saved me many miistakes had it been around 40 years ago.
