Hello Ron,

I like it a lot! If you look at the reverse you can see the remnants of the Green thread highlights that should be on the front. Nice eagle.

That bird must have been through Hell to have worn away the detailing threads. It's got character, that's for sure.

Not exactly non-textbook, either.

Not exactly sure what is "textbook", so probably a bad choice of words on my part.

Sorry............

Thanks Fred!

Perhaps this one is closer to "textbook"........

No need to apologize, Ron! I was only trying to say that there were many aspects of your original eagle that were very nice, and common among the "one-lookers" that we often see here.

Nice to see the period description and price. 4 RM would have been about 10 USD at the time the war started. Not cheap, 10 dollars in 1940 had about the same buying power as 160 modern dollars in 2015.

Bullion insignia has never been cheap, but its always looked damn nice. Matt
