I'm very glad to have found you on the web. The pin from my old unit Air Force Combat Control Pinis awesome and I'll be proud to wear it. Thank you very much.

This is a museum quality reproduction of a very rare Colonel pin from around 1840. It is rather large with a wingspan of 2 3/4 inches. This Eagle is shown as figure 166 in American Military Insignia 1800-1851 by J Duncan Campbell and Edgar M Howell published in 1963. This would be a very rare insignia in any collection and if you collect Eagles, this would be a perfect addition to your collection. The pin is made in sterling silver with a 24k gold plate. As was the custom they only wore one insignia.
