I haven't posted an article over a year due to my health issues. I'm back, healthy and ready to take a new project. Here is a War Eagle up for auction in my local area. Is this an authentic piece or not?

YES! It's the real deal, and, what a find!
This is the first version of the war eagle, which just has the design instead of a denominator button.
Plus... it's a quarter machine.
Good luck.

Thanks for the great pix, and glad to hear you are back in good health.
You can't get More Authentic, than this "War Eagle". It is 'Bone Stock', and complete.
Usually, we say, "when they are this original, leave them alone", but this one is far
beyond the point of leaving as is. It needs a complete restoration, but not to be one
that is 'overdone'. I'm sure you already know what to do, but if you need any pointers,
we are here to help. Good luck at the auction. Hope you win it. Keep us informed.

Thanks fellows. What would you think a fair price/bid is for it at this condition would be? Need to ask.

I agree ... what a great find. Unfortunatly, I am in the area too and will be looking at as well. But rest assured, I dont have deep pockets and will give up easily on it. Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

Oldslotman. Thanks for the picture. My project is in process and 90% complete. I'm waiting for 4 pieces I send to Mr1slot.com for nickle plating. Here are WIP pics.
