This piece comes from my deceased ex wife’s father.

The story is that he was a (jeep) driver, in the Canadian forces, end of the war, European-German area.

The eagle metal section is 16 mmn. Can’t say about the kind of metal.

Could the knowledgeable members give us (my son and ex included) some info as to the historical context and value?

A close up of some markings under the tail will be further uploaded.
Could not with this post.

Thanks
