Great looking bird , congratulations and thanks for showing . That is the same eagle as shown on the Third Reich Eagles web site . I really don't know why it is painted black ( maybe for camouflage ? ) or when so can't help there . Maybe other members can help .
That may not be paint...Could well be that Soot from burning Coal has embedded itself...Add years of storage and exposure to the elements...

You can say that again GlennAgain!
Are yes I see its the same eagle on third reich eagles website , that's good news ,are have to get a silver eagle to go side by side as a pair now
The close up photo of the wreath looks like paint chipping to me - I don't think soot or diesel stain would give that effect, even with aging.
I believe it is a thin layer of paint sprayed on during production
It could also of been painted to camouflage the bird. Raw Aluminum stands out like a sore thumb and that would attract the Jabos if seen from a low altitude. Possibly used on a armored train or a flak train car.
