This eagle belongs to a friend who believes it is original. I strongly feel that it is a reproduction. He has asked me to post it here for opinions. I am sure this style has been posted before but I personally find it a challenge to identify the subtle differences between BEVo designs and I am hoping for help from some of our experienced members who are surely more familiar with the fine details of SS sleeve eagles. I have been wrong before, I am here to learn.

Thanks in advance for any comments or opinions. -
I don't like the torso shape and design, and an irregularly formed wreath "leaf" detail would be a show-stopper for me. The wreath increments should be identical, I believe. s/f RobertComment

Yes, this style has been posted before...countless times.Originally posted by Chris Pittman View Post
As for 'subtle differences' and 'fine details,' those are precisely what this style of fake lacks. Do a quick search for "bowling pin" on this forum and you will see what I mean.

Chris, here is a comparison with your friend's eagle and the style that the fakers probably copied it from.
Maybe it's easier to see the differences side by side.
