I have all the easy parts--everything except the ribbon and the felt rectangle. Eagle is among the most common patrols, which makes getting a complete set plausible rather than completely farfetched. While I'm not in the financial league to chase the rectangle, I have seen maybe three of them (at least one in mint condition) go across eBay in the last few years--which I have certainly not seen for any other patrol.
