Biro Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Here 'tis Rick - I've blown these up to max without totally loosing ALL the definition - these unfortunately were drawn practically to scale - as you will spot...

Biro Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 At that resolution, not sure how much help they'll be - or how accurate a rendition...but then I have no idea of the amount of variation between different makers of these things.Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ahhhh yes... bird watching# 16500 the "Pineapple Body High Head Short Round Wings" [attachmentid=9512]And the distinctive "bump" on the bottom edge of each army eagle # 16318 is also one I know well, but don't have one of. [attachmentid=9514]Little quirks like these are what sets each type apart, like the Schickle type--once seen, always remembered. Like the Schickle, Deumer #16500 is not actually punched out under the chin, altering how the "profile" is seen above.The Luftwaffe ones will be trickier, since they do not have as much shape to compare... but those are some real "swan necks" there!!!! Here is just a sample showing variations, with catalog identified Schickles on the bottom. [attachmentid=9513]These are Monster Unknown, Pointed Short Round Wings, Small Flat Straight Wings, and the Schickle Massive Wings Tiny WreathSo TWO more eagle device types identified!!

Gordon Williamson Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 For Rick,As requested, the Schickle catalogue page showing the part numbers for the ribbon eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Is there a page showing these "406/411" eagles loose? They are on ready made ribbon bars, but the stock numbers are for the completed ribbon bars, not the device loose:[attachmentid=9516] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Afraid not, the ones I posted above are the only ones offered off the ribbon bar mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I couldn't agree more KRPeter366e is a rather interesting item as well...← Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Well, that IS a strange one! Never saw that "1914" lapel bow device and never saw a 1939 like that, either! I wonder if it was those weird Saxons and their bizarre fixation with pointless non-regulation EK mini ribbon bar devices, dating back to the First War. Like father... like son?

Peter J Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Here's my latest purchase, never seen this one before either. Also a couple of different eagles. The 4 and 18 eagles appears to be from different dies and the 4 and 8 eagles from the same.KRPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landsknechte Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I know that I've seen that hybrid device somewhere in the past, almost certainly on a ribbon bar. Unfortunately I didn't bother to save the photograph, as I wrote it off as a fantasy piece. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Very nice, Peter. These are new to me as well I allways avoided everything from the Iron Crosses series with swords attached. I have seen some Spangen with crossed swords, but they looked very weird to me. I wonder, if something like that existed as well.Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
