    Metal Skull & Eagle

    Hello,

    I was wondering what you guys thought about these two? If they are original late war examples or just plain old garbage?

    Regards,
    Chris G.

        Thank you very much for the prompt reply and the expertise! Much appreciated!

        The eagle looked like an Assmann but looked odd to me...

        Regards,
        Chris G.

            This eagle is a casting of the "E.S. P.F." style eagle, but with Assmann style prongs.
            The skull is a casting of the Overhoff pattern, also with nail prongs.
            Both have been sold as fakes numerous times on the estand. I bought a pair myself for reference. These eagles and skulls can be found with Deschler style prongs and discs and can also be marked either "E.S. P.F.", or "M1/24". They are usually very heavy.

            Hope this helps.

              Here is an original E.S. P.F. eagle for your notes. These CupAl eagles are extremely rare.

                Also, I probably should clarify that the repro eagle is cast from the E.S. P.F. design, but probably not directly cast using an original. I believe that whoever made these fake dies, cut new dies for the castings, as there are major differences as well as similarities.
