        It is not that he thinks it is fake, it simply is fake.

        As for how you can tell, I suggest that you start by learning which markings were original and which weren't to eliminate those which are completely bogus. Beyond that, it takes years of study. The information you will need to confidently navigate this field could fill a book. There is no single reference yet, but much of what you need is in the older threads on this forum. In the case of this eagle, besides the markings, I suggest that you look at the shape of the breast feathers and lower wing feathers and compare them to known originals by all makers for starters.

        Good luck,
        Brad

            Just found this one long forgotten in a box whilst clearing my "room". I'm pretty sure it's fake, just wanted to double check before I lose it again.
            Thanks

              You are correct, it is a horrible fake.
