I know nothing of the Ike's but this one looks like a very nice strike. What is a Talon Head? It's a MS-66 or better for sure.

I don't know much about Ikes (read as: nothing) -- but it looks nice to me :)

however, I don't like the reflection. The picture would look a lot cleaner without it - IMO :)

The talon head is a die clash that can be seen right near Ikes temple.
It is the Eagles Talon from the other side of the coin. (Die Clash).I learned about quite a number of varieties that I never knew about at the Ike Group website. Thought I was going to put together a simple Eisenhower set. The more I started to learn about them the larger the set grows. I never knew there were so many different varieties of the Eisenhower. And it has become a riot hunting them down. The image with the reflection is only the second one I have done that with I just learned how to do that. with some new image software. still have not got it down quite yet.The learning process never ends. I am glad it doesn't Way too much fun

Nice.

I like the handle as well. Everyone misspells my name that way... Stewart. It is Stuart. Anyway... I like the name as it is a good one. :)
