Identify pin.

[sturgis]

Firstly, I dont have any photos, but I am trying to identify this pin before I buy it !
Its a lapel pin about 20mm high, has quite a tall looking eagle without the outspread wings and is sitting on a white enamel shield with the letter 'T' within it and a horizontal wolfsangle crossing the 'T'.
Its a nice quality pin and appears genuine.
Any guesses ??

His price - about $200.

Would a pin be worth any less / more ??

The stickpin version is more common, but I don't think it has any effect on price. Clasp pin back may be an owner modification. Remember, $200 is a dealer price - you can get it for less at shows, other collectors, etc. Here it is again for $175: http://www.emedals.ca/catalog.asp?country=GRC&pg=8
