Were All Eagles The Same?

[Vlim]

Here are the post war Mauser templates for the AE on the Interarms version of the Mauser Parabellum:

The positives were used to produce negatives, which were printed on a thin transfer paper using a bitumen material. Workers would stick the bitumen transfers on the chamber, remove the transfer paper and apply an etching solution to the template. After etching, the bitumen material was removed, leaving the etched eagle behind.
