Stuka f Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 got this on in yesterday from a house cleaning, never saw anything alike... Don't know how the eagle is fixed, yet.... I'll make better pic's today in the day light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybo Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Very cool if authentic. It looks a little like the 'Dying Eagle' monument at Waterloo. Perhaps it is covered in the Moreau book (which I do not own, alas) on the veterans association medals of post-Napoleonic France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 This medal came out of the woodwork and never has been in collectors hands, before me. So I assume it is perfectly authentic. The lightning bolts are assembled and not cast. And the eagle is fixed by two pin's into the medal edge and weld (or soldered). I like it a lot, although we will never know the reason ... But it will fit nicely into the collection; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
