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!

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. Posted ImagePosted Image

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.

For future reference. Where are they marked Billy.

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