I do have trouble with bullion birds but I'm not so sure it's a repro, I kind of like it. Maybe some bullion gurus can speak up

I know it is getting more difficukt to authenticate bullion insignia, but I think this one is ok. In addition to the details of the eagle, I like the base wool.

Great point Gene! I was thinking the same thing. I believe Xraytech has bashed the last 2 threads on breast eagle (his only postings) and then made some snide comment on the opinion of others. I believe he answered his own question with the statement "but what do I know".

Please, let's not make this personal. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and people get to decide who to listen to, generally based on how they present their opinion.

These interest me and I've looked at quite a few of them. I see no red flags on this one. I would have it in my collection
