Flat Wire SS Eagle

[paul a]

I just picked this up with a large group of supposed vet bring back items, all the army and air force items are OK I am just not sure of this and as I am thinking of putting it on E-stand I want to make sure that it is OK also any idea of the value?

Hi Paul, I'm no expert on these but I think it's a good one. As for value, one just sold on the e-stand for $1500!!

While it looks ok someone messed up the chest feathers and obscured a pattern that could be used to determine originality.The way it is sewn to the cloth is a plus since officer usually had them applied by hand,but not always.

Since when is one of these valued at $1500...right now I could buy a nice bullion on at that price which i still consider high.

Thanks Simon i think yours is far nicer

[paul a]

before I put this on E-stand has anyone else got an idea of what I should be asking for it as I could do with the money for a new item for my collection
Thanks

[John Pic]

Paul,ask what you want and if it doesnt sell for that try again.I am a firm believer there is no set price for anything its what you want to get out of it.

I got one at the max last year for 495, which was a good deal. If it were mine I would ask in the 700-900 range.

This is my 2 cents

E-Stand Eagle

The eagle on the E-stand was a machine sewn embroidered eagle with a hand sewn up-grade to flat wire on top. Two eagles and a nice up-grade an unusual item for $1500.
