Description
Presented for the Eagle Scout Medal type collector or proud parent/friend who would like to pass along an heirloom quality Eagle Scout insignia is this very fine specimen of the Robbins Type 2B Eagle Scout Medal in its original "frost pattern" Harrington case of issue. The Robbins Type 2 Eagle medals are regarded as one of the most attractive and finely executed types of the series and are eagerly sought. The Type 2B medal, as distinguished by the BSA obverse and the less-detailed reverse, was struck from 1931-1933. This rather short duration accounts for their scarcity today. The condition of the ensemble is excellent. The Harrington box presents a rich blue/black color with all of the blind-stamped silver border present on the cover. The hinge is strong and in alignment. The interior is clean and free from any issues. The medal brooch and planchet present a wonderful, untouched patina and the wire knot is present. The brooch is marked "STERLING" in the expected location near the hinge.  As I have observed on some Robbins 2A and 2B medals, this one employs a spring ring to attach the planchet to the ribbon. This construction detail is quite scarce in its own right. The pin and roller catch are in perfect working order. The original silk ribbon is vibrant of color. The only issue is that there is some minor fraying at the top right corner when viewed from the reverse. In a static display this is barely noticeable. This fine Robbins Type 2B would complement any collection of Eagle medals or would be a fabulous recognition at an Eagle Court of Honor. More fine Scouting material from Brother Rabbit's hutch!
