    Help With Bullion S.S. Sleeve eagle

    I've researching this one for the last day....I believe it's a good one.

    Like to hear opinions from others in the community.

    Many Thanks!

            Thanks again for the help.

            On pg 149 of Bando's S.S. book an example matches almost perfectly.

              Irrespective of that photo in the Beaver/Bando (which is different anyway) I find the subject uninspiring and the spotlessly clean black highlights and dried mud on it particularly fake looking.

              Could just be me ...

                Thanks Ian.

                Disagree with you on the mud/soiling. In my experience if an item is sewn to a uniform........the back of the insignia is not dirty.

                I've owned hundreds of Vietnam patches that were worn in country, exposed sides are filthy whiile the backside are nice an clean.

                Cheers,
                Howard

                    Not sure what you are asking?

                    There is a cardboard templete under the bullion. No glow under blacklight.

                    Best,

                      Original eagle.

                        As Bob said it is an Original ...at least it's an original style. The mud is puzzling but my Cavalry officer tunic had some caked mud on it.

                              And the tag is also original on the back what makes sense. And not so easy to find with its original blk silk tag.
