Bullion Sleeve Eagle, how bad did I step in it?

[doomtown]

So... I got excited and found this on fleabay(why?), hence the covering of the swas, but I liked the backing and the seller had another eagle that looked like a legitimate early Reichswehr eagle, so I took a gamble. It doesn't look like an obvious(Siedler) fake to me, how bad did I step in it? Did my GF's cat just get a great new patch for her cat sweater? Here's a thread that I thought looked a good deal like the one I scored(?).

I don't think the one you posted compares favorably with the earlier posted example. I believe the Ebay one is a post-war replica.

Thanks Robert, I should have known better. I know Heer pretty well, but SS is new to me, and I got excited. I'm not out too much fortunately. I'll post pics when I get it just in case, but thanks for the reply letting me know.

Looks like the ones Delta International sold in the 70´s. Fake.

This one is a fake

Thanks guys, I appreciate the opinions, I can definitely see the differences in the bullion, and it's especially clear in the legs(these being straight like a Heer eagle, not thick like an SS eagle).
