What do you think of this eagle.... I can not show the back because the eagle is really stuck to the cap. The eagle is bended by the way...

How is it possible that Helmut Weitze sold this eagle if it is a common fake? Well, another eagle in the trash can....Comment

The eagle on the visor is much worse fake than the 155.
It is just horrible. Totally wrong head, but a well known fake.
Look at how big the eagle's eye is.

Those are all fake. The last one that you posted has the Assmann beak that I was talking about, but it is very lacking in detail, (as are the chest feathers).

I was going to say that I can see the markings on the back of yourOriginally posted by Fred
eagle in the pic, but Gary beat me to it.
Many of the 360, 373, etc. eagle and skull fakes are made from steel
and it takes a considerable amount of pressure to bend them. More so
than most originals. That is one reason why they were so convincing
15-20 years ago.Comment

Some fakes are too sturdy and some fakes are too weak, but most of the fakes are too heavy. All of the originals, (except the late war zinc ones),
are very light weight. Most of the fakes are too heavy, but not all.
I have seen a few good fakes that weigh exactly the same as the originals
but there aren't many yet. Best, ChrisComment
