I picked up this m36 style mantel about 7 years ago.
It is fully lined with the 'Italian' blue grey gabardine. There's a partially mangled sleeve eagle, that is not sewn through the lining. The sleeve heads look like they've not been reopened.
There's absolutely no stamps or maker marks, nor tailor labels.
Some detail shots below. Things that make me question it: (see photos)
Originality of sleeve eagle
Scratched off maker mark on the dagger hanger
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking at moving this on the e-stand possibly, but concerned about the orginality.
Thanks for your help, in advance.
