gold ss metal eagle

[waffendude]

This was another item I purchased with the salty skull, looks like
a visor eagle to me but I've never seen a gold one and I don't see where
this one had any pins. What is it for?

thanks

[waffendude]

any ideas on this piece good or bad?

thanks

I have one just like it. Came from a vet source. I always thought it might be for a photo album cover decoration...

Like to know what others think.

Prior to them being stolen, I had the flat gold and a flat aluminum SS eagles with no attaching devices on the reverse. I believed they were for some type of album cover.

Here is another one, most of the gold finish is gone. It came in a lot from a vet's relative, but I was never sure about it, good to hear it is original.

Bob,

You had something stolen...and they survived and got away?

Too thin to be a cap eagle IMO--ie no depth to them at the sides, I have seen these from vets too and wondered about their use...

About the no attachment pins, I thought they were just unfinished blanks taken from some factory. I think they might have been silver plated after completed, and then used on photo album covers.

Then surely there must be a few albums out there with these one the cover...anyone have one?

I've been searching the web unsuccessfully...

I would think that something like this would still need some sort of pins or prongs to attach it to an album cover. What else would secure it? Glue?
