cabbell2006 Posted December 25, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2017 I've had this eagle for some time and know nothing about it.i had to clean alot of green corrosion off ,it cleaned up nicely.it looks as though someone glued it in a frame or scrap book as there is remnants on the reverse.the attaching pins are long gone.thanks all any information would be much appreciated.
