Bullion Eagle Part 2

It is defiantly not panzer so that is why I am making a new thread
This is how it almost looks Background is white and stitching is much better especially the black thread that make it more detailed

1) The ^ looking symbols on the body of the eagle are not present on my eagle!

2) The third "line" of curvature is straight not oval shaped as first 2

Wings are perfectly straight and the body of the eagle is more elongated

Do you know what it could be and how much is it worth?
I will try to scan it and get pick to you thx for all the help

Hate to say it, but it looks like a reproduction to me. I bought one exactly like it 5 years ago for $10.00.
You will notice that the wings are a little thicker (higher up & down) than the originals. Also the wings droop a little more than an original.
As for the body details, you must remember that these are all hand made--both then and now. There will be tiny individual differences on all of them--it's not like the flat woven insignia where tiny details do make a difference.
Anyway it looks like the common reproduction to me. Let me know if I'm wrong. And if you paid a bit for it I hope I am.
