I have a loose M1/47 marked eagle. Can any please let me know what material is made of? It not metal. Magnet doesn't stick. Thanks

Grip eagles were made typically from nickel-silver, aluminum and later pot metal, non of which were magnetic. Do you have a good pic of it?

Here is the same eagle in a SA dagger. Is this a later version

The loose eagle you show appears to be a copy IMO. The eagle looks completely different to any of the accepted period variations. The one you show in the SA grip is good, loosely referred to as the "upturned beak" variety.
