Compared to the one I own, it appears to be close to the real McCoy, except for the left wing dark threads which are present on mine.
Maybe a small variation? Was that allowed?
Actually upon very close inspection, there are substantial differences in the finish..especially around the wreath details.

Thanks Mark, actually the eagle is rather large: about 5 inches across and about 4 inches high. It has been removed from something and the funeral sash is the only thing I could imagine it would have been on previously. Great quality workmanship and toning to the gold bullion.

That one has so many differences in it compared to a real one, I can't believe he is serious. The eagle head is turned the wrong way, the talons don't grip the wreath, there are no ties on the wreath...it go's on and on. Run, Forest, RUN! Mark
