These repros were all over the place at the last Max show. Roll Eyes
Here's the one that I've bought couple of years ago from Willy. Wink
Compare the etching and the Heer eagle, no comparaison.

That pattern without the sprigs was actually period produced according to TW, but he also states that it is the most copied example and genuine ones are ultra rare.
