Hi Jan

A comparison with a marked example shows it has all the right characteristics.

Looks good to me!

I wonder if the eagle has been re-attached at some point. Seems off center and near the left by the eagle there appears to be some discoloration of the wreath?

Ummm…Certainly not text book S&L. There are a few red flags, Jan.

I would like to see a few close-ups of the bird as, from this picture; the eagle looks very much like a poor cast copy + thin swas, or is it just a bad strike?

[Jan Arne S]

First one more unmarked LW Flak .

Thanks for the close-up, Jan.

This (IMO) is from a series of fakes that come unmarked and with various maker marks.

The comparison shows the same eagle. One badge (right) is unmarked, the other is "Assmann" marked. I also have on file one of these that has a very bad Juncker mark. I think this eagle has also been used on fake B&NL flaks.

Good news, Jan.

Take a leaf out of Jan's book guys....always ask for "a right of return" on any item if you can't post the piece for opinions before you buy.

Other than the usual loss of silver wash...A late example in zinc with no problems at all. Nice, Jan.

Here's a comparison with an earlier nickel plated type.
