a very interesting question Thor. I would speculate that since the 1923 AE commercial were made by DWM, that they still had the stamping die used on the early AE models and that the stamp should be the same.

I also would be very interested in seeing a variety of photos of various AE models that would answer this question. And now that I think about it, maybe we ought to start calling them Army eagles, since the test pistols were made and purchased for the U.S. Army. And since I am retired Army, that (Army)eagle emblem is one of my favorites! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
