KM breast eagles

[Mark_K]

The maker mark is an entwined 'T' and 'S', which I have been told is for Thiele & Steinert, the well-known cloth insignia maker.

KM admin bullion eagle. It really is silver in colour, not faded gold.

KM bullion eagle. This one is clearly unfinished, and looks like it may have been a practice piece (unless it is a fake that was abandoned three-quarters of the way through!) It lacks some of the chest and wing embellishments that the finished versions have, and it has not been trimmed for application.

And another KM bullion breast eagle. I love collecting the different variants of these birds!

Hello Mark K,

Nice selection of eagles!! The one posted on #262, the unfinished one, is just that. It is a very nice original that did not get completed in my opinion.

Final KM bullion breast eagle. This one is a gold one that has faded.

I have to thank Fred Green for all his help in advising me about how to identify the difference between good and fake eagles, and for supplying several of the eagles I have posted. Many thanks, Fred, you are definitely one of the good guys!

I can confirm #37, this eagle to be 100% genuine.
I have got one given to me by a vet who has sadly passed away now.
