Center wappen with out a doubt is a copy .

The fuerst plate does look good but the trimming around the scepter is not tight up against the arm.

So it looks suspect.

In my opinion....a reproduction. What gives it away for me is the circles in the solder where at one time modern screws (heads)were soldered on. These would be a dead giveaway so they have been taken off. I got sucked into buying one of these a few years back....same copper colouring. I keep it around as a reminder...FAKE!

In my opinion....a reproduction.

I would say that is a fact. A poor reproduction. One quick glance at that blob that is supposed to be the center Wappen is enough to see. The eagle lacks the detail of originals and is clearly a fake. Try to find one feather on the reverse.
