Original and in very good condition for its age. These were hand painted on metal and attached to a box car. Although aged and used, the Prussian eagle is a beautiful work of art. This one was mounted on a piece of wood a very long time ago... most likely by the collector who once owned it. It is heavy so shipping will be a little more than the already high costs of shipping on everything nowadays. However, I will refund the difference back to you if over-charged. If it's more, I eat it! Let me know if you need additional pictures or have questions. Thank you.
