Reforger Posted July 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2020 Shold-R-Form Meyer insignia with a raised shield was used around WWII. So these are probably WWII era. However, Shold-R-Form insignia existed before and after WWII as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS. Posted July 11, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2020 The lower eagle is facing the arrow heads. They are not supposed to do that. I have heard of this, but never seen one. A rare variant. Called a war eagle. NS Meyer has made a lot of colonel's eagles, I don't think this is an accident.

Allan H. Posted July 11, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 11, 2020 I am relatively certain that this style of eagle does go back to WWII. I have had some odd luck with this eagle. You can see in the photo, that there are six for the left shoulder and only one for the right. Not sure why I have had such bad luck trying to find mates for these birds. You will note that the right facing eagle faces the arrows. It is this way on all of the sets of this particular insignia. They also come in sterling and non-sterling varieties.

S.ChrisKelly Posted April 6, 2023 Share #8 Posted April 6, 2023 I acquired these today. Can anyone give me any information? I won't load my post, because I'd like your observations, not my conjecture. They were sent as a "matched pair". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
