Thats a really nice original bullion eagle. Getting harder to find all the time.
Sure can tell the difference from the repros and the originals.
Machines have no emotions, which result in hand produced pieces having differences, almost like snow flakes.
Was this a show aquisition?

Hi Bob and Rich - thanks for the comments. I know what you mean Bob - still, there are a few like John Pic who get enthusiastic about bullion sleeve eagles and picking the real from the fake. Hopefully he will stick around. I have been trying to get this thread pinned for reference Bullion Sleeve Eaglesbut the moderators don't seem to be responding. Rich, this eagle came from one of the European dealers. The one that has all the fake color piped SS visors.........

Tony; I like your officer sleeve eagle. I bought another very nice SS bullion sleeve eagle last year from the seller with the funny hats. I have also seen that he have had other all original officer sleeve eagles for sale. Not cheap but real.
Cheers, Felix

A few years back, these were real sleepers, and today, one comes up it is gone in a minut amount of time.
I was fortunate to aquire one of Tony Bartos that he had, and I have had not seen another being offered.
The thread that shows all the original bullion sleeve eagles is an archive that many should consider at least saving the images for their own reference.
Bob, I read all of this on these eagles because I have much interest in the embroidery and the differences these eagles always have, due to being handmade, and the wear of time.
DO you know how these were made, by that I mean, were they embroidered onto a large square piece of material and then cut down for sale, then cut again for tailor sewing?
If this is the case, has anyone ever seen a "sheet" of bullion SS eagles?

It is my undertanding they were done individually .The Unterlager or cardboard form was placed on top of a piece of black cloth one at a time.The Unterlager was then worked over with the various types of thread .The quality of the embroidery of course went directly related to the talent of the craftsman.

Pablo,
I have seen the unterlarger for sale, but when the embroidery was done, was it done in a loom, and done one at a time onto a larger piece of fasbric asnd then cut down, or was it doen an an even larger piece, where the larger piece was locked down and then several were produced aand then cut from the single cloth?
Nice birdees by the way.
