Re: 1931 War Eagle Completely Restored

Thanks. Have always wanted a Mills War Eagle but could never find an original unrestored at decent price. Could not pass this one up and I was nervous at end of bidding as I just knew someone else would jump on it. One of my best friends "back in the old days" was Dave Evans. He had a nice War Eagle that he let me examine so I knew what to look for back then. We walked Chicagoland once and we checked all of the War Eagles searching for a good one to no avail. So I have been looking on and off for 30 years.
I kidded with Andy and others about restoring this but have definitely decided to just wash and polish - it will stay all original. Will post some pics in a week or two. I truly feel sorry for that uneducated chap who bought that fake War Eagle - wonder if he/she will realize when it arrives?
