General officer stars and colonel's eagles are an interesting segment of military collectables. The number of variations from manufacturer to manufacturer, and even variations within a single company over a period of years result in a huge number of differing styles, designs, and modifications.
Shown here are a number of examples. Some were sent by specific and identified officers and are accompanied a signed letter or signature clip which would make the basis of a nice display when appropriately mounted and framed.
Where possible, eagle pairs have been matched by maker and style. We also have a number of single eagles that will eventually be listed. General stars are SINGLES unless stated otherwise.
