    LW Assmann aluminium breast eagle...

    Hi!
    Just wondering if this breast eagle is a genuine one or just a fake!
    I'm not an expert in this so I really don't know what parameter to use to detect if genuine or not.

    What is the main difference among the "A" located in the middle as this one and the "A" located on the upper left or right side as the green arrow shows?

    I also saw some "A" with the "feet" at the base flat as this one and others with feets pointing downwards...Are they both genuine or one of these kind of feet is a clear sign to show a fake one?

    I also read about the legs of the "A" same size(like this one) and some larger at the bottom than at the top...What is the right one?

    And if genuine what would be a resonable price?

    Here it is:






















    Thanks in advance!

        Hi!
        Thanks for replying...

        So the only 100% true one is the one with the small "A" D.R.G.M. on the upper right side?

        This big "A" version is still a mistery?
        If I should purchased it...how much money I should spend for it?

        And what about the small "A" on the upper left side version?

        Any hint about the different size of the legs of the "A"?


        Thanks again for your help!

          No, there are genuine examples with the large A in the center of the eagle, but this is also the style which has been hugely copied.

                Hi!

                I'm a little bit confused...

                So are you saying the big A in the center version of the eagle is not a fake...?
                But if I got it right reading the thread linked below this version doesn't appear on the official Assman catalogue...so for this reason somebody think this is a fake!
                So what about it?
                It is a fake because not in the catalogue or what?

                And if this version is not a fake even if not included in the official catalogue (so why we can say this is true?)...what about the eagle I posted below?

                Any hint to detect if genuine or not?


                Sorry for the tons of questions...but I'd like to have this thing clear in my mind!


                Thanks!

                    Hi Andy!
                    Ok...you like it....so you think this is genuine...But...why do you think that?

                    How much I could pay for it?
                    If genuine I guess much money than if fake of course...but who knows?

                    What is an average price that let me dare to buy it whithout being silly?
                    I mean...is there a resonable price that not let me be silly if actually a fake and let me be smart if actually a genuine one?

                    My prblem now is purchase it or not?

                    Thanks!

                      Well if you look at the pictures you could see that the eagles are nearly the same exept for the DRGM marking.
                      But you have to make your own decision

                        Hi!
                        So does it worth 100gbp?
                        If fake this is a suicide...

                        And just for curiosity and to enhance my knowledge...what about the version with the small "A" on the LEFT upper side without D.R.G.M? Is it included into the Assmann catalogue?


                        Thanks!

                          I also read these:

                          http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...mann+catalogue


                          In short...together with a big headache......I got:


                          The big "A" could be a genuine one and not necessarily fake...

                          If well made it could be genuine.
                          Fake ones have hook welded on...as seen....
                          So...why somebody should make a fake of a fake?

                          The big "A" is a little different from the D.R.G.M type and this because different style....and this doesn't mean the big A is a fake...

                          It could be not included into the Assman catalogue because at that time no re issues were made...

                          So I assume the one I posted could be genuine because good details...and "one piece only"...
                          If fake because never made from Assman...this is a very good fake eagle...


                          Anything to add at my considerations relating to what read on the links above?


                          Thanks!

                              Mate,

                              Even if it is real I don't think it is worth a 100 quid, since it has been copied a lot confidence in this type has been lowered as a matter of course?

                              If there is any doubt about it in the future you will be stuck with it.

                              If you like it and you think it is nice enough and you want to spend the money it is your shout at the end of the day.

                              Good luck whichever way you go!

                              Jock
