Dear Joe,

Unfortunately, these are the same pattern as that shown here. As the Wasserschutzpolizei NEVER had named eagles, and NO police branch ever named their eagles BELOW the eagle itself, these are obviously fantasy eagles not produced during the TR period.

As the two you show are of exactly the same pattern and manufacture it stands to reason that they too were made by the same person that made the fantasy eagle, rather than a period manufacturer.

In other words, if one example of a given pattern can be shown conclusively to be fake, we can reasonably conclude that all other copies of that same pattern are fake as well.

This maker also seems to like famous names like the reich chancellory, bremerhoffen, and templehof airport as his subjects.
