American Eagle Series

[Pygmalion]

Parker Frost made the American Eagle Series in 1976 commemerating 5 well known names of the American Revolution. This one has blue delrin handles, the eagle shield, stainless steel blades, and commemerates John Adams. The remaining 4 names are Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Nathan Hale, and George Washington, each with a different color delrin handle. There were 12,000 sets issued.

Beautiful pics Pygmalion! I'd somehow missed this thread until today. The knives were actually made by Imperial for Parker. Schrade Walden was in the midst of a restructuring at the time and there was no way they could have handled the extra volume, so the gang in Providence took up the orders. Most of these early commems were done at the Imperial site.

I want to say that I've read somewhere on the forum that some of the early Am. Eagle Commemoratives were bone handled IIRC.

I finally managed to pick up a complete set of these including the wall plaque. I'll post pics in a day or two.
