I know several do not value them up with the top end prices, but online, you will spend time finding a CupAl skull with both prongs for less than $1,000.00 and you certainly will have a time finding a nice CupAl eagle with that much finish for under $1,000.00. Ones like that are premium pieces and they do not grow on trees. Anyway, then the late Assmann eagles are around $400.00 and your average CupAl eagles are at least $650.00 and that is a nice 499/42. So, $4,000.00 would be definite. None the less, a very good catch. I hardly ever see any of the rare eagles or skulls for sale anymore. Those have all but dried up and now it's getting difficult for most collectors to find those. Almost every dealer knows the rare ones when they
come across one and they know that they can sell them for high prices.
I certainly do not see the rare pieces getting any easier to find, but only more difficult. Also, people are always looking for them to complete their visors that are missing insignia and this is frustrating and costly, especially to find a perfect match. It adds however, so much to the visor's value that it is worth even more to get a good set.
I remember some of the good days when you could find them for $300-$400
each, but those days are long gone.
