I just saw this Mills War Eagle on ebay this morning.
Is this a reproduction, remanufactured or just a frankenstein War Eagle.
I always thought an original War Eagle needed 2 Cherries to pay out.
Silver reels strips don't look correct as well.
My limited slot knowledge thought the War Eagles were a 2/4 payout and then the later versions were a 3/5 payout
Am I correct in thinking this?
Thanks
John

Serial numbers should be stamped in the top castings in the black area next to the award card. If so, then someone may have switch out the reel bundle and payout slides and made it a 2/5 payout. Should be 2/4 or 3/5 with no single cherry payout.

This is simple, someone found an original 10 cent empty cabinet and stuck in a post war single cherry pay mech.
