Product Information

(on consignment).THE VERY RARE CIRCA 1940, SHORT LIVED VERSION IN CUPAL. WITH SILVER FINISH, WORN TO THE HIGH POINTS. VERY NICE UNTOUCHED PATINA. 84 MM. THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS RARE VARIANT COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THE PIN SET HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THE LAST TWO IMAGES SHOW TWO OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE CUPAL EAGLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PIN SET AND SOLDERED ATTACHING. THEY WERE MADE THIS WAY, IT IS DOWN TO THE MELTING POINT OF COPPER, SPOT BRAZING WAS NOT POSSIBLE , THE ONLY WAY THE FITTINGS COULD BE ATTACHED WAS WITH SOFT SOLDER.
