LARGE 1-7/8 INCH SIZE 1930’S PRE WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES ARMY COLONEL EAGLES SHOULDER INSIGNIA, PIN-BACK. I BELIEVE THESE WERE A CUSTOM ORDER PEICE MADE BY THE JEWELER H. “W SHIELD” & “STERLING” H. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

Rare Irish Free State Vickers M27 Helmet with Liner for sale. A copy of the WW1 M16 German Stalhelm design, the Vickers company was contracted by the Irish army to manufacture these helmets and only produced 10,021 of them. The helmet comes with a complete liner, reproduction chin strap (not pictured) and copy helmet badge. It appears that at one time the helmet was painted white and has been stripped. The white paint can still be seen on the underside. The Vickers markings can be made out on the rear skirt of the helmet but are very difficult to read as they have been painted over. The helmet is overall in great shape, although as mentioned has had it’s white paint stripped. One noteable dent in the shel. The liner is intact but the liner band no longer holds it all together as it once would have. There is a rip in one of the cushioning pads and the insides (a black hair like material) will come out.
