Grabbing_Gears Posted August 20, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2023 I was able to purchase a collection from an older German gentleman. This was in the collection. Any thoughts? Real? Jewelers copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted August 20, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2023 Does it have enamel on both sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabbing_Gears Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted August 20, 2023 Yes sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted August 20, 2023 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2023 If it’s real it would fall into a period jewelers copy catagory. The detail on the eagles is below standard but it could be the pictures. Are the eagles separate pieces soldered in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted August 21, 2023 Share #6 Posted August 21, 2023 Some firms continued to make these for years after WWII, as there were still serving veterans who rated it and may have needed replacements No idea if this is one of them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted August 21, 2023 Share #7 Posted August 21, 2023 It’s my understanding that the eagles were a separate piece. They were die struck and soldered in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear Fanatic Posted August 21, 2023 Share #8 Posted August 21, 2023 They look soldered on to me, and semi lazy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
