Claudio Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi Don,Here's my brother's court mounted Silesian Eagle 2n Class. Interesting to notice the taylor's label on the back.Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Here's my enameled Silesian Eagle first class... notice how clean the rivets are. Usually the constructions of the medals during the late 20ies and early 30ies wasn't so good, since the LDO's didn't exist and also because of the economical crisis.Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 ...and here's my 1st class with Swords. The construction of the pin on the back is typical of the 30ies.Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 My brother's first medal bar: this purchase of his dates back in the mid 80ies. It's quite nice to see to have such medal bars with its ribbon bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
