    Army Eagle Collection

    I've been slowly rebuilding my Insignia collection after a 10+ year journey as a "document-only" collector.

    Many thanks to my new best-friend, Fred Green, for hooking me up with the last one I needed.

      Nice
      Give a man an opinion and you feed him for a day,
      teach a man to use the "search" function on the WAF and you feed him for a lifetime.

        Nice............

        Great looking display. You can really see the differences when presented side by side. Congrats.

          Love that display! Really like the printed eagle and the center officer eagle!

            So far I am better aquainted with summer uniform metal eagles but I should get started on these before all the good ones are gone. Your set looks like very nice Heere embroidered birds & all in top condition. I particularly like the 3 bullion officer types but the middle one is my favorite: unusally good head design for an embroidered bird

            Great set, congrats!

                      Ah! When You said THE original ones are nice. Thought you were implying some were not.

                      Take Care,
                      John

                        JC,

                        Good eye - that one is the best of the bunch. It came out of a tailor shop find last year. All of the hand-embroidered officers insignia was superbly done. Here is what I picked from that find

                        Best,
                        John

                          Nice eagles .... collecting insignia always gets me excited ? Do you only collect unissued examples?

                            Thank you. I also collect "cutoffs", here are a few recent pickups.

                              Sorry for the delay John: computer went t... up again & just returned from the doctor!

                              Thanks for the additional pictures. Incredible haul John: rare pieces, beautiful embroidery & all in top shape. I could develop a liking for those but you dont see them in that shape very often! Thanks again for sharing
