Dirk Posted April 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 27, 2017 Here is a Chinese silver belt buckle, made for a Marine c. 1930-40. Again, I believe this is the work of Peking jeweler Teh Ling based on the markings. His store was located close to the Marine Embassy compound, so we see a lot of his work around. A delicate, well made piece, but looks like they struggled with the EGA....which at first glance looks more chicken than eagle. Yet it is still a pleasing piece, that I am happy to add to the collection. Would love to see some Chinese made EGAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted April 27, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 27, 2017 Very nice piece Dirk. Thanks for sharing. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted April 27, 2017 Share #3 Posted April 27, 2017 Thats very nice. Wonder if the jeweler was more accustomed to making things with the traditional peacock than an eagle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks guys! I guess I would like to see some other Chinese made Eagles to see why he was so off here. Another Fourm member got a beautiful Chinese silver trophy in and although the eagle is better far done, it does have some vague charactistics of this one. Yes, maybe a "Peking duck" EGA would be a better description.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted April 27, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 27, 2017 I love it! Great China Marine acquisition, Dirk, Congrats! Bob P.S. That sure doesn't look like the Western Hemisphere! Poetic license by the jeweler, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted April 27, 2017 More like Vietnam than the Western Hemisphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanemono Posted April 27, 2017 Share #8 Posted April 27, 2017 Dirk, That is a beautiful belt buckle. Here is a Chinese made EGA from a shooting trophy. This also looks like a chicken. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
