F. Wagner eagle

[wunderwafe]

Hello!

Is it original eagle? I have never seen a similar eagle.
Does anyone have a picture of a similar eagle? Is it zinc?

Here are two links so you can read and make your own decision.

for me a doubtful one.

can also help to take the weight of this eagle and compare with the other known originals RZM M1/8 and the RZM SS 475/39 since this "guy" would be in transition of these two and would have to be near of them (for logical reasoning near the RZM SS 475/39)in weight.

IMO original but please wait for Chris opinion

To clarify, "doubtful one" I mean all this type of eagles marked on the left M1 / (calculator type 8) not only the eagle shown in this thread.

Original CupAl eagle, imo. These were most likely a transitional type eagle, as later, the Wagner eagles with these crimps for the prongs will be marked "475/39" and were made of all three materials, CupAl, aluminum, and zink.
Regardless, all Wagner eagles have Wagner details and die flaws on the front. Hope this helps!
