Pinback "Overcoat Sized" Colonel Insignia

[VMI88]

I just picked up an oversized pinback colonel insignia by N.S. Meyer; it's shown below along with a more recent standard size eagle.

 

 

I remember reading somewhere (maybe this forum, but I can't find it now) that these were supposedly made to go on the overcoat. Does anyone have documentation to support this or is it just a collector theory? How common are they? I can't say I've run across one before. If anyone has the matching right-facing eagle or a matched set for sale, please let me know!

Still looking for a matching right facing overcoat-sized eagle to complete this set.

I have this oversize col Insignia also, made by luxemberg. Measures over 2 inches lenth. It's the nicest col eagle I've ever seen. Really heavy silver.

Still looking for an oversized right-facing eagle by N.S. Meyer (or a matched set).  Would also be interested in any background information on these.

Billy you never did tell us where the STERLING Hallmarks are on these clutches.
