    WSS Offz Sleeve Eagle

    I bought this sleeve eagle a while back. When I got it, I was very pleased with the overall appearance and construction. Recently, however I got a hand held blacklight and was surprised to see that this piece glows Could this possiblly be a good eagle that has been washed/dry cleaned or does anyone think that the eagle is a repro?

    Im quite certain it is a repro and here is why.It is only made from two types of bullion and lacks the glitter highlights found on most originals.It is made in the "proper" style of an original but Scotty Babcock of Traders of the lost surplus can have these made up by the bundle even with highlights.In that case hands on would reveal a thickness and other differences from a fine original period eagle.The bullion on these almost has a plastic like appearance or waxed look.Good thing it glows cause they make non glow ones too.When you see a real one the fine work really stands out.Some earlier original designs did not have the three bullion features but they also looked very different.What glows on it the core threads?Cause bullion doesnt glow it reflects the light though and some think that is a "Glow".What I look for is the white core threads of the bullion to light up like Hollywood at night.

      Hi John. Thanks for the reply and for your knowledge of the true origin of this eagle. I'm attaching some more pictures of Offz eagles that I own. Please comment when you can.

        The second one has the three bullion quality to it and it may be real but hands one exam and UV test would help me here because the bullion looks mint.But offhand it looks pretty good to me.
        I like the third one and have seen this style on a few tunics out there.Its a nice looking eagle and seems to have some age character to it.
