Guest Darrell Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I received these in a recent inheritance. Of note ... the gold Bullion Eagle was one of two that my uncle had. He gave me one 30 years ago and kept the other for himself. This one is the one he kept for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Here is the second one. It is the type sewn onto a rectangular silk patch. Very detailed features on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Does anyone have any idea what grade / class or rank the above eagles were issued to? What type uniforms etc. were they typically worn on? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The hand embroidered one is the type typically worn by NCOs on the reefer jacket, the other is the standard BeVo weave enlisted mans eagle used mostly on the blue pullover shirt.I have the identical hand embroidered piece with the original makers label still attached to the reverse, I'll post it later for comparison.

Guest Darrell Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Very nice Gordon. Yes they are close to the same. Do you have an example that would be worn on a Commanding Officers tunic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 These heavy cellulose thread hand embroidered pieces were worn by both officers and NCOs. It is generally considered that those like the ones on this page, with black highlight threads, are NCO and those in all golden yellow thread with no black highlight threads are officer.Of course the hand embroidered gold wire versions like this were also worn by officers - and NCOs.Very nice Gordon.

Guest Rick Research Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 An extreme closeup, showing the similarity with spun wire bullion to make this sparkle and twinkle in light-- but it is all celluleon with thread detailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
