Hi John
I take no offence i am well used to this, i appreciate your experiece of collecting i am only at it 3 years, but you did dismiss the alarm clock as a fake, to trick tourists or collectors, it is 100 percent original for what it is if you study that link, i provided, and you will be convinced. it is also worth logging into that forum to see all documentation on the eagle, So you should just eat a little chicken for that, with a bit of crow, the clock is not an East European fantasy piece, we all make mistakes like you say, so no worries, under those circumstances you should please hold off with your judgement on this pocket watch i will provide you with a link later from serious watch makers and you can hear their oppinions on it all, i am not saying it is a total genuine piece either, but it is not your ordinary run of the mill fake, it has history to it, and the decals could have been printed, for a special promotion or commemoration either before, or during the war, it is also very possible that you are right and they were added not very long after the war, so stay tuned and we will see what comes back. best wishes. Colm
