This is a museum quality reproduction of a Spanish American war era set, sew-on, 1898 to 1902 coat eagle with "wings down." Gilt on brass. Measures approximately 1 1/4" high and 1" across. This reproduction is made in brass with a 24karat gold plate. Officers below the grade of colonel wore an eagle on the shoulder straps. Generals and colonels wore the eagle on the collar, with only the rank on the shoulder straps. You are buying a set of two insignia one right and one left.
As an overseas customer ordering from the UK, I have found www.norbay.com to be very speedy, helpful and professional. Shipping from the USA to the UK has not been a problem and the on-line tracking has allowed me to check the status of my orders. I love the content on the website and they always get new items to look at.
