Hey John the copper eagle is normal, but rarely seen. I have seen a few of these on a couple of Chained SS daggers and also on some SA Daggers. I believe Tom Wittmann has a color photo of an SS dagger in his SS reference book. The copper eagle gives it that antique look,, even though it ia an Antique,, but you know what I mean Big Grin Nice pick up, hang on to it. Larry
