However there were British makers providing swords and pommels of these kinds of eagle heads, and the rather short beak on this resembles the Bolton/Upson form (Mowbray, p95) in some degree and is also crested.
Not really.

To my knowledge, there were no fully cast handle eagles from England.

With first impressions often right, I would go Mexican or other Latin American country. The possibility of European construt would mean finding the catalog image/#. Collins did some cast beasties but this one doesn't ring a bell for that line.

Jim, I am not sure how you could see that as Bolton. The possibilities are endless but I would not add that one to the Bolton/Bates files
Some other eagles
