Cap Eagle opinion please.

Hi all. Today i have recived this cap eagle. It is makermarked with SS499/42 and RZM M1/72 for Fritz Zimmermann,Stuttgart. I would like to hear what you say about it being an original war made one.I did an search and it seems to look like other 499 Eagles.

Thank you

And the reverse side. Im not sure if the copper is wearing of or an finnish wearing of the copper.It is a bit spreckeld at rear side.

It is an original (mint) Zimmermann eagle. It is made of CupAl (a copper/aluminum wafer and is finished in matte silver paint. The speckeling you see is the result of paint spray.
