Pretty sure this is Fake: Cap Eagle

[Tom Kibler]

Going through my father's things.... As there is quite a bit.

The bird is marked RZM 394/35.

These are the best photos I could take at the moment.

Somewhere there is a totenkopf as well...

Thanks for the heads up!

Not a GURU but thinking ORIGINAL..Billbert

A bit more oxidized than usual maybe , but I would say original as well .

Now let's see that skull ..

[David T]

I would go with its a good one. Dont think I've seen a fake with those markings

[matx007]

This one looks good to me. 394/35 Is a unknown maker.

@matx007...do a search this eagle maker is definitely not an unknown Billbert

[SScollector]

Absolutely original. It is in my opinion that these were most likely the very earliest 36 style SS eagle variation. These are CupAl. They are also a bit scarce.

Anyway, congrats!

Hi Billburt, I am unaware of the maker of these eagles. Can you please provide a link?

Thanks!

Thanks guys. I was also unfamiliar with this maker and that lead me to believe this might be bad! Great news!! Now to find the skull my dad had with it.

I will be listing in on the Estand - would any of you feel comfortable emailing me a fair market value? tlckkibler@msn.com

Thanks.

Thanks to a few emails - I've listed it on the E-stand:

Maybe I miss understood Billbert here. These "394-35" marked eagles have been well known original SS eagles for many years. However, to my knowledge, the actual maker to whom this code matches has never been discovered. Hopefully, this is correct. If not, please let us know,
as I have been trying to find out who this maker was for years. Thanks!
