Gordon Williamson Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I don't think the wreath/swastika on the KM eagle was originally silver. The different qualities of bullion wire used have degraded differently and the original gilt finish on the wreath/swas has faded. Use of different grades of wire and mixtures of wire / cellon thread is quite common on Kriegsmarine eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Diehl Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Gordon: Thank you so much for this informed response. I am a dagger guy but occasionally I run across bargains too cheap to resist. I am pretty confident on many braided items but this Kriegsmarine piece presented differently to me. Best wishes for your continued collecting and publications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
