    "High eagle" SA

    Hi All!

    I want to introduce one of my finds from the last fair in Kassel. I took this buckle, because I like the high positioned eagle.
    What do you think about it?
    Has anyone a similar piece for comparison?

    Regards,
    Guido

      Hello Guido,

      a very distinct eagle and in my opinion seldom seen, unfortunately missing in my SA collection : for sure David will offer his reputable comment.

        In my opinion, a very rare SA design and seldom seen. The stylised and high positioned eagle is very distinct by comparison to any other SA roundel.

        Interestingly though, I do not think the buckle is a very early piece and instead, perhaps just one of a very limited production. It would not surprise me in the least to find that Overhoff und Cie has some involvement here.

        Attached are 2 other examples, together with a third "oddity" buckle which has slight similarities.

        Regards,

        David

                    David,

                    your "feeling" offers an interesting base of discussion : what is leading you towards an Overhoff manufacture ?

                      I am probably "flying a kite" on this subject, however here goes !

                      Attached are images of an SA buckle and which by the roundel design, is generally agreed to be predominantly, manufactured by Overhoff und Cie. The buckle as you know is encountered with both a "flat" and "dimple" back brass box.

                      There are two types of solder points that I usually associate with Overhoff und Cie. and one style, has a tiny central depression or hole.

                      The attached traditional SA and the "high eagle" SA, do appear to have remarkably similar backs, by the solder points and the shape of the half moon catch.

                      Another aspect is selected detail areas of the two eagles. There would appear to be slight similarities to the upper wing areas, the splayed and extended claws and the triple, highly accentuated and unusual leg feathers.

                      It is almost as though the "high eagle" SA was the experimental and limited production precursor, to the other and very common O & C SA.

                      Regards,

                      David

                              Hello everyone...David my friend...It's been a while since you've seen this buckle and as per Guido's request...I would be happy to show my example of this buckle.
                              Interesting theory for sure! I can see that "depression" you were talking about on this example as well.
                              Cheers!

                              Rob
