Default Luft Zinc Eagle "A" Marked
Hopefully you guys will bear with me for a few more items. I’ve been asked to help sell the items from an old collectors estate and I want to make certain that the items are real before I start posting them on Estand. Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.


A zinc based luft eagle. It is marked with raised "A" on the reverse that doesn't show up well in the photos. It is about 3 5/16 wide and I don't konw if it is a visor or breast eagle. Need a little help on this one too.

It's a breast eagle for a summer tunic.

Is this the big 'A' that there are mixed opinions about?


I should say I think this one is OK...

Mixed opinions are for alu ones, not for zinc ones

Unfortunately the first photo didn't really show the detail to the feathers, so I took another shot.
