The Company of Eagles was established in 1985 by an Air Force veteran.
The company was re-established under new ownership in 2014 after passing of the founder and his son. The business was left to the son’s life long friend who was there to see the building of the company from the beginning and still uses the same family of craftsmen to create these magnificent emblems. Our promise was, and remains to continue the legacy of the Bergsmann family business. The new ownership has been in the apparel trades since 2004 and combined these two businesses into a single operation. So our offerings are an expansion of available products to better serve the collectors and gift markets. You can always be confident in the quality of products from The Company of Eagles. Thank You, and we look forward to serving you!
