Well said Mr. Wadowicznic. This is definitely a hobby the requires patience and money in ever increasing supplies! As you say, even the once common pieces are fewer and farther between, and prices have doubled, tripled and more. Gone forever are the days of the $25 eagle badge and $40 Cross of Valour.
I will strive to do so promptly. These are mounted in a frame, which will require some disassembly. In the meantime I will post some archived pics I have of the Alavoine and also some ‘middle east’ versions. Stay tuned.
I highly recommend you pick up the Zawistowski books on the subject. They are excellent. I am expecting his new book on pre-IIRP eagles within the next week.
Regards,
Tony
