We have penned a few humorous nick-names for some of the boosted/fake HK eagles we see on magazines and guns.

Figured a Gallery was appropriate.

Any other sightings of mis-shapened eagles can be added as we find them :

Anyone want to come up with an E/2 name for this one...Mag SN-4018 ?

One of the legs looks sort of bow-legged...maybe the Cowboy Eagle ???

The circular "body" of the eagle looks like it was put-together with 2 half-round dies...which is probably also not a good sign. And then you have that totally missing (middle) feather of the left-side wing.

Any other suggestions for a name ?

And then we have this "bird" with no real legs showing...SN-1160.

Maybe the "Cotton Hill" eagle for fans of the old "King of the Hill" cartoon show.

And a comparison of the HK shape of some other "1" shapes on other magazines with those on SN-1160.

Gun SN-1160 is a reported P-Code pistol. It was even reported as such in the Gibson book on page 77. But the orphan mag SN-1160 has the military acceptance stamp.

Similar gun SN-1156 is also a P-Code and its two magazines (SN-1156 and SN-1157) do not have the military acceptance stamps.

And another Award Winner. Magazine with numbers 3438 and other markings.

Notice where the E/2 is located. And bird lost its lower beak. And the lone number "3" along the top...HK Police ??? Using HK double magazine pouches ???

And here is what the E/2 looks like on HK Mag 3549 for comparison...

Hi Thorsten,

That is a really a very good example of a bad one...for sure. ;) Looks like stuff we are seeing here in the USA out of PA State.

Mag SN-9638 : Eagle wrong shape, numbers wrong shape, metal of the base is too smooth and polished, and the eagle is stamped at the wrong location.

Eagle has what we joke as "stork legs".

Here is one near-by looking much better.
