Luftwaffe breast eagle for review

[andy_mnemonic]

Hi all,

I recently purchased this LW breast eagle off the estand and it appears it may be a cast fake. Sorry for the not so great pictures but the MM on the back is the Assman mark and D.R. I think the seam on the top edge is the most noticeable giveaway. Thank you all for your opinions!

I agree with AndyC

Solid back "A DRGM" marked birds (this version also exits in hollow back cupal and zink with the "A" mark without the DRGM) are made of aluminum and have very different hardware (built in hinge and a crimped catch) than the one you show. I attached picts
