PC434 Eagle Plate Marked “E.Gaylord” This eagle plate is in very good condition and its flawless brass face has a pleasing chocolate brown patina. The crisp stamping of the eagle shows excellent detail of the eagle, its arrows, and olive branch. The rear has full lead, both iron hooks and the manufacturer's mark of "E. Gaylord". The rusty hooks are fragile, and one is thin, but both still complete. The mark is completely there with 7 of the 8 letters very visible as the stamping was fairly deep. The rear has one 3/4 inch area of lead that is slightly bulged out just above the letters "lord" in the mark, but it is solid with no flaking. I am not sure what would have caused this other than perhaps a manufacturing flaw. There is no damage whatsoever to the other side of the plate. The plate has no cracks, breaks, bends or repairs and is a beautiful marked plate that will display very well. Approx. 62 mm. $375.00 Ordering Information or Questions |

PC1458 NCO Eagle Breast Plate This NCO eagle plate is in very good condition and has a very pleasing dirty light brown patina on its brass face. The detail of the eagle, arrows and olive branch is quite strong and much better than my pictures actually show in this case. The face has a very nice excavated appearance and has no cracks or breaks. The rear has full lead with approximately 1/3 of each of the three iron attachment hooks still remaining. There is a very slight bend in the plate but most likely caused by period use. This plate has not been repaired and will display quite well. It was excavated by Steven Van Weddingen in the area of Manassas, VA in the mid 1990s. Approx. 63 mm. $295.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |
